zucchini brownies

Recently my daughter shared a yummy zucchini brownie recipe with me. If you were one of the lucky few who were able to nab one at work, and are looking for the recipe...here it is..sorry no pic on this one...but go to This Suburban Housewive's blog (listed at the bottom of my blog page) and you will find a pic and another great food site (my daughter's:)
Zucchini Brownies

1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 t. vanilla extract
2 c. flour
1/2 c. cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 1/2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
2 c. shredded zucchini
1/2 c. walnuts (opt.)

Preheat oven to 350*.
Mix sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt.
Then add vegetable oil and vanilla.
Fold in the zucchini and flour and nuts, if desired.
Don't expect to pour this batter into the dishes.
Just dump it in a 13 x9 pan and press it down.
It will become moist as the zucchini cooks and sheds it moisture.
Bake for 25 minutes.

Frosting:
6 T. cocoa powder
1/4 c. margarine or butter
2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. milk
1/2 t. vanilla

Melt margarine/butter and mix cocoa powder in.
Set aside to cool.
Mix rest of ingredients together.
Add in cocoa mixture.
Spread on cooled brownies.
