Zucchini Brownies

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

3. 3

   Mix together the oil (or applesauce or apple butter), sugar, and vanilla until well blended.

4. 4

   Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually mix into the sugar mixture. (If you use apple butter or apple sauce the dough is a bit crumbly at this point but it will hold together once you had the zucchini).

5. 5

   Fold in the zucchini and walnuts.

6. 6

   Spread evenly into the prepared pan - it should be sort of thick and you may need to spread it out with a spatula.

7. 7

   Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until brownies are done.

8. 8

   While the brownies are baking: melt together the 6 tablespoons of cocoa and margarine or butter; let cool. Blend together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla. Stir the cooled cocoa mixture into the milk mixture. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting them.
