Steps:

- 2. Pour into greased jelly roll pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes. While baking, prepare the frosting.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh zucchini. Choose small to medium-sized zucchini, as they tend to have more tender skin and fewer seeds.
- 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.
- Be sure to grease and flour the loaf pan before pouring in the batter. This will help prevent the bars from sticking.
- Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- For a creamier frosting, use full-fat cream cheese. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
