Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 2 dozen bars

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 cups zucchini, coarsely shredded
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Bars:.
  • Combine oil, sugar, and eggs in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed until well blended.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour and next 5 ingredients; stir well. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in zucchini.
  • Pour the batter into an ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 inch jellyroll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, spread cream cheese frosting evenly over the top; cut into bars.
  • Frosting:.
  • Combine the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a small mixing bowl; beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, beating until the frosting is smooth. Spread on the cooled zucchini bars.

Tips:

  • For an even finer texture, use a food processor to grate the carrots and zucchini.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the bars dry and crumbly.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. Bottled or jarred lemon zest will not provide the same brightness of flavor.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.

Conclusion:

These carrot zucchini bars with lemon cream cheese frosting are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are packed with grated carrots and zucchini, so they are a good source of vitamins and minerals. The lemon cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the sweet and moist bars.
