Frosted Cinnamon Zucchini Bars

Frosted Cinnamon Zucchini Bars

If there’s one veggie that produces more than enough to eat, it has to be zucchini. Gardens are overflowing with zucchini this time of year, and it can be hard to know exactly what to do with the excess. You can only make so many zucchini breads!

 {Check out these 50 Mouth Watering Zucchini Recipes.}

This recipe is a mix between a bread, cake, and bar, and features a deliciously sweet, {but not too sweet!} cinnamon frosting. They freeze wonderfully too, and are perfect frozen or thawed.

Start by combining butters and sugars, and cream until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and then all your dry ingredients.

Zucchini Bars Steps

Add in zucchini, coconut, and nuts last, although the coconut and nuts aren’t mandatory. It really depends on your taste.

Then spread batter into a greased cookie sheet and bake until a toothpick in the center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.

The cookie sheet does make a bit of a thinner bar, so if you wanted it to be a little thicker, you could spread batter into a 9×13. You will just have to bake zucchini bars longer.

While the bars are baking, it’s time to whip up that cinnamon frosting!

Combine confectioners sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then stir in the wet ingredients to achieve a spreading consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little bit more milk, and if it’s too runny, just add a little bit of confectioners sugar.

When the bars are completely cool, frost with cinnamon icing, cut, and enjoy!
