Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9 x 13 glass pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
Shred the zucchini until you have 2 cups and set aside for later use.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, and baking soda; set this mixture aside.
In another bowl, combine the canola oil, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well blended. Then add in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Fold in the shredded zucchini gently until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes. The brownies should spring back when touched lightly.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting them.
For the frosting, combine cocoa powder, melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until creamy and smooth, then spread over the cooled brownies.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from the shredded zucchini for better brownie texture.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Try adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor if desired.
