Delightful Zucchini Cobbler Bars combine the freshness of zucchini with a crispy crust, creating an unexpected yet comforting dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until well blended.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded zucchini and nuts using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The edges should be golden-brown.
- Allow to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before cutting into bars.
Notes
For gluten-free, use gluten-free all-purpose blend. For vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use applesauce instead of butter.
