I've done it! I'm almost done using up all my frozen, shredded zucchini before this next batch arrives. I have one bag left and I have four zucchinis from my garden. Since you are all probably going to be up to your eyeballs in zucchini as well--I thought I'd share another dessert recipe using this fabulous and multipurpose vegetable.
Zucchini Brownies
(from the Aspen Meadows 2nd Ward cookbook--by an anonymous ward member)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Frosting:
6 TBSP cocoa powder
1/4 cup margarine or butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan (I did not flour and it was fine).
In a large bowl mix together oil, sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour. Stir in 1/2 cup cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Fold in zucchini and walnuts (I omitted walnuts b/c of Mr. Brent). Spread evenly into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Frosting: Melt together cocoa and butter. Set aside to cool. In a separate bowl blend together the sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir in the cocoa mixture. Spread over cooled brownies before cutting into squares.
