📝 Preparation Steps

Using the medium holes of a box grater, grate the zucchini and measure out 2 loosely packed cups. Add the zucchini (without draining) to the chocolate mixture and give it a few stirs. Allow it to sit for ⏱️ 5 minutes. After ⏱️ 5 minutes the zucchini will have released some liquid and you should be able to stir the mixture into a thick batter. Once fully combined, scoop the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.

Bake for ⏱️ 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center come out without raw batter on it (melted chocolate or fudgy crumbs are OK). During the last ⏱️ 5 minutes of bake time, begin the frosting.

Frosting

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder, milk and vanilla. Remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar. Whisk vigorously until the icing is glossy, smooth, and fully combined. Pour the frosting over the brownies immediately after removing them from the oven. Spread the frosting into an even layer (working quickly before it firms up). Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
