  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 24 bars

Ingredients

– 200 grams flour for base structure

– 100 grams sugar for sweetness

– 2 large eggs for binding

– 50 milliliters vegetable oil for moisture

– 150 milliliters milk

– 1 teaspoon baking powder for leavening

Instructions

1-First Step: Gather and Prep Your Ingredients Begin by pulling together all your items on the counter to make things flow easily. Measure out 200 grams of flour, 100 grams of sugar, 2 large eggs, 50 milliliters of vegetable oil, 150 milliliters of milk, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Grate about 2 cups of zucchini fresh ones work best for that moist texture and set it aside after squeezing out excess water to avoid soggy bars.

2-Second Step: Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, combine the 200 grams of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, stirring them well to ensure even distribution. Add in the 100 grams of sugar at this stage for that sweet base. This step, taking about 5 minutes, sets the foundation and helps the bars rise properly in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius.

3-Third Step: Incorporate the Wet Ingredients Now, crack the 2 large eggs into the dry mix, followed by pouring in the 50 milliliters of vegetable oil and 150 milliliters of milk. Stir gently until everything blends into a smooth batter, which should take around 2-3 minutes. Fold in the grated zucchini here to add moisture and nutrients, creating a hearty mixture that’s ready for the pan.

4-Fourth Step: Pour and Bake Grease a baking pan and pour in the batter, spreading it evenly to about 1-inch thickness for even cooking. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. This step is crucial, so check at the 25-minute mark to prevent over-baking and keep those bars tender.

5-Fifth Step: Cool and Cut Once baked, let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This cooling process, about 20 minutes total, helps them firm up. Finally, slice into squares and serve, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar for extra appeal these bars taste best warm and pair great with coffee.
