1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 c flour

2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla

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.
