Zucchini and carrots make a great fall harvest combination that creates a delicious moist bar. The
addition of raisins and nuts provides additional sweet flavor and crunchy texture.
 
Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the oil, honey, and beaten eggs; stir until well mixed.
  • Add the zucchini, carrots, and vanilla; stir until evenly distributed.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg,
    and cinnamon.
  • Pour these ingredients into the egg mixture; and then stir the combination until well
    mixed.
  • Add the raisins and walnuts to the batter and stir until evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into an ungreased 13x9x2 baking dish and spread out evenly. Place the bars in
    the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out
    clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool until just warm. Spread glazed topping
    over the top of the bars while the bars are still slightly warm.
  • Spread the glaze topping over the bars as indicated below.
GLAZE TOPPING:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until the glaze is a consistency that
