Your welcome it sounds like a lot of work but it is really simple. Very good brownies and a good frosting too.

Why bother with shredding? Put all the wet ingredients into a blender, blend a little, then add enough zucchini chunks to measure 2 more cups in the blender pitcher. Blend well or blend just until all chunks have gone through the blades.

I make most of my cakes this way, but especially those with zucchini, pumpkin, carrot and such. Let the blender do the shredding/grating. So much easier. The sugar can go either in the dry ingredients or in with the wet. Stir the rest of the dry ingredients together and add the wet.

Sounds like a time/energy saver...I'll have to see how my blender handles it.

Made your zucchini brownies (I did substitute applesauce for part of the oil). Everyone loved them.
