How to Make Zucchini Bars With Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jellyroll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
  9. While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting:
  10. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  11. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  12. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  13. Once the bars are completely cool, frost evenly with the cream cheese frosting.
  14. Cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
