Ingredients
- 1 ½ c rolled oats regular or gluten free
- 1 ½ c flour
- ¾ c brown sugar
- 1 c butter, melted
- 1 c zucchini, shredded
- ½ c raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, sea salt and baking powder and stir until fully incorporated. Add in melted butter, vanilla, zucchini, and raisins and stir to combine.
- Transfer to an 8x8in baking pan lined with parchment and spritzed with spray oil. Press mixture firmly into the pan.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow to cool fully before cutting for best results!
Notes
- If you want your zucchini bars a bit more structured, leave them into for a few extra minutes. I prefer mine to still have a level of moist chewiness--not quite underdone, but certainly not baked 100%
- Enjoy these bars as is, or crumble over yogurt or ice cream for a fun option.
- Add in ½ cup of chopped nuts if desired. We never put nuts in our zucchini bread so adding them to these doesn't do it for me.
- Cream cheese frosting on top anyone??? That or a nice little drizzle or glaze is great too!
