How to Make Carrot And Zucchini Bars With Citrus Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ginger, and baking soda.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, grated carrots, grated zucchini, oil, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir in walnuts and raisins, if using.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
- While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
- Stir in lemon and orange zest.
- Once the bars are completely cool, frost evenly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars to serve.
