Spiced Zucchini Bars
Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 (16 ounce) package cream cheese frosting
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer).
2
Next, take a 9x13-inch baking pan and apply a generous amount of butter to it.
3
Make the zucchini bar mixture by combining brown sugar, softened butter, eggs, and a hint of vanilla extract in a bowl. Blend the ingredients until they're well incorporated.
4
Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ground cloves to the bowl and mix until they're evenly distributed.
5
Mix in grated zucchini and chopped walnuts to create a delicious and textured mixture.
6
Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, making sure to cover the entire surface.
7
Bake the zucchini bars in your preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, which should take approximately 30 minutes.
8
Allow the zucchini bars to cool completely before frosting them, which should take around 1 hour.
9
Mix the frosting with a pinch of ground cloves in a bowl to create a fragrant and flavorful topping.
10
Spread the frosting over the cooled zucchini bars, cutting them into 16 squares for a delightful and easy-to-share dessert.
