Delightful Frosted Zucchini Spice Bars: A Sweet and Moist Treat
Ingredients
- 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
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup grated zucchini
- 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 until well combined. Fold in the freshly 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 to avoid overmixing.
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. To make the frosting, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and spreadable. Frost the cooled bars.
Notes
These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or refrigerated for up to 1 week. They freeze well for up to 3 months.
