Ingredients

2 cups shredded zucchini
1 large egg
½ cup applesauce
½ cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla
½ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour

Chocolate frosting

2 cups nonfat greek yogurt
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
¼ cup honey
1 package sugar free chocolate pudding mix

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and line an 8X8 baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and lining with parchment paper, set aside.
Shred your zucchini and lightly squeeze out excess liquid, you don’t want to completely squeeze all the juice. Set aside
In a large bowl add your egg, applesauce, honey, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add in your prepared zucchini and whisk together.
In a separate bowl, sift together your cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Whisk together.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix to combine. Once the batter has come together, pour it into your prepared pan and bake for 24-26 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies, it should come out mostly clean, it will have some brownie on it, but not a lot.
To make the chocolate frosting, add greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey, and pudding mix to a medium bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip all the ingredients together.
Spread the frosting over cooled brownies and enjoy!
