Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 cups
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Eggs: 2 large
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Vegetable oil: 1/2 cup
- Shredded zucchini: 1 1/2 cups, squeezed dry
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, and oil until well combined. Stir in the shredded zucchini.
- Step 4: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Notes
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week to keep the frosting fresh.
- Gently warm individual bars in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to enhance the spice flavors and create a cozy treat.
- These bars are delightful served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra-special dessert.
- Be sure to squeeze as much moisture as possible from the shredded zucchini before adding it to the batter; this prevents soggy bars!
