Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated carrots, zucchini, and nuts (if using).
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Cut into bars before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure you squeeze the excess moisture from the grated zucchini for best results.
  • For a sweeter bar, you can add a cream cheese frosting.
