Description
Delightful Frosted Zucchini Spice Bars are a moist and flavorful treat that combines zucchini with warm spices and a luscious frosting.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup grated zucchini
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon milk
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, then stir in the grated zucchini.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool completely before frosting.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and creamy.
6. Spread the frosting over the cooled bars, then cut into squares and enjoy your delightful Frosted Zucchini Spice Bars!
Notes
Zucchini adds moisture and fiber to the bars. For a healthier option, consider reducing sugar or using whole wheat flour.
