Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

...A good mix between Zucchini Bread and a yummy brownie!  If using frozen, grated zucchini, drain and squeeze out liquid before using.

Cream together well:
1 cube real butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-3/4  cups sugar

Add and mix:
2 eggs
2 cups zucchini, peeled and finely grated 
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbl. cocoa powder
1/3 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt

Add and mix only until combined:
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/4 cup sour cream mixed with 1/4 cup milk)

Stir in:
1-1/4 cups chocolate chips

Prepare a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.  Bake at 325 degrees for 35-45 min. until center is not jiggly. Don't overbake.  Allow to cool if you choose to frost it with chocolate frosting.  Can also be eaten warm without frosting!
