Provided by Kadee & Desarae

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium zucchini (2 cups grated)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup salted butter
5 tablespoon heavy cream
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Begin by grating your zucchini. 2 medium zucchini equal about 2 cups grated zucchini. There are several ways - you can use a box grater, a food processor, or the grating tool for the Kitchenaid stand mixer. You can also use a fork to shred the zucchini.
  • Combine softened butter, greek yogurt, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cream together.
  • Add eggs and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Add in shredded zucchini and blend.
  • Pour in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • Mix until just combined.
  • Prepare a jellyroll pan (either 15 ½ by 10 ½ inches or 18 by 12 and has 1-inch-high sides) by spraying with non-stick spray.
  • Pour prepared batter into the pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 14-18 minutes until golden and the center springs back when touched.
  • Cut 1/2 cup stick of butter into even slices and add to a medium saucepan.
  • Heat over MEDIUM heat until melted and bring to a simmer. STIR CONSTANTLY.
  • The butter will begin to foam, continue stirring.
  • When the butter begins to change to an amber color, milk solids at the bottom are toasted, and the butter has a potent nutty fragrance, the butter is browned and done. Transfer to a heatproof mixing bowl
  • (There is a very slight difference between browned butter and burned butter. If the milk solids begin to blacked, you have burned your butter and will need to start over.)
  • Add your warm browned butter to a heatproof mixing bowl.
  • Add in 4 tsp vanilla.
  • Pour in 5 tbsp heavy cream.
  • Add 5 cups powdered sugar.
  • Mix until smooth. You can add additional heavy cream (1 tbsp at a time) if you prefer a thinner frosting.
  • Frost your zucchini bars while still warm.
