Zucchini Brownies

Mix together:

1/2 c oil (or 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce)
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup special dark cocoa
2 1/2 cups zucchini, grated

Add:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together until combined. I usually just use my spatula to do this. Doesn't need to be mixed with a mixer. Pour into a 9x13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges start to pull away from the pan.

You can frost these or sprinkle with powdered sugar, but they are really good just plain too. Enjoy!
