Instructions

How to make Banana Zucchini Cake Bars

  • Preheat oven to 365°F.
  • Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper. Lightly butter (or spray with baking spray).
  • In a bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, on medium speed, beat sugar and eggs about 2 minutes.
  • With a fork mash the bananas. Grate zucchini. Add bananas, zucchini, oil, and vanilla to sugar/egg bowl. Give it a quick mix.
  • Add half of the flour mixture and mix; add remaining flour and mix.
  • Pour batter into a pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 365°F for 17-20 min. Check readiness with a toothpick, it will come out clean if ready.
  • Completely cool cake.
  • Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy. Spread cream cheese layer over the cake.
  • Take melted chocolate and place it into a freezer bag, snip off the edge. Make a few lines atop the cream cheese layer with the chocolate. Take a toothpick and make swirls with the chocolate. Refrigerate for an hour. These are absolutely amazingly delicious if enjoyed fresh, meaning the same day.
