Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degree’s.
2
Spray a baking sheet (jelly roll pan) with vegetable spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the finely shredded zucchini, eggs, oil, canned milk, vanilla cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Mix everything together to combine.
4
To the zucchini mixture add the flour, sugar and salt. Mix everything together until well combined.
5
Pour the zucchini batter into your prepared baking sheet pan and using a large spoon, gently spread the batter into the pan.
6
Place the zucchini bars into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until fully cooked. Every oven is different so adjust cooking times as needed.

When baked, remove the zucchini bars from the oven and let them cool.

To make the frosting, melt the butter in the microwave and add the cocoa powder, canned milk and powdered sugar. Adjust the powder sugar amount to get the consistency of frosting you want. I do mine more like a glaze but adjust however you choose.
