Zucchini Brownies (From the kitchen of Marcia Bales; shared by Teri Mortensen)

 

2 cups zucchini

1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/4 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup nuts (if desired)

Directions:

Grate zucchini and put in large bowl. Add sugar to zucchini and mix till well blended. Let sit for about ten minutes. Mix in oil and vanilla. Mix in flour, salt, soda, cocoa and then nuts, if you want. Mix well. Watch out for flour lumps. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes in 9"x13" pan.

If you want to make the cake version just double everything and bake longer. Mine I cooked about 15 more minutes. It depends on your oven. Use a toothpick to check for doneness. The cake version is what I made for the Wearever cookie sheets( for broadcast dinner).
