How to Cook Lemon Zucchini Bars in 5 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
