  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, lightly squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Glaze:

  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Mix yogurt and lemon juice: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt or sour cream and lemon juice.
  6. Combine ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredients and the yogurt mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Add zucchini and zest: Gently fold in the grated zucchini and lemon zest.
  8. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and glaze: Let the bars cool, then prepare the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the bars and let it set before cutting into squares.
