Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13×9-inch baking pan, ensuring a perfect non-stick foundation for your delightful bars.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they’re light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and canola oil, creating a sweet and smooth base for your bars.
-
Zucchini Magic: Incorporate the grated zucchini and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, stirring diligently to ensure a well-mixed and flavorful batter.
-
Dry Ingredients Dance: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Once combined, introduce this dry mixture into the egg concoction, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
-
Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, indicating the bars are done and ready to be enjoyed.
-
Whip Up the Frosting: While the bars are baking, prepare the delectable frosting. Whip together the oleo (butter) and cream cheese until the mixture turns light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar, continuing to beat until achieving the perfect, decadent consistency.
