My garden is amazing this year. Some years are always better than others. This is a good year. Especially for my zucchini. I am going to have to get creative to find some good uses, but this recipe is an old standby. It came from a friend at our previous church, and with just slight alterations, it is perfect!
Plus, it has two cups of zucchini so it’s healthy. I like to bake this on my jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet with sides). That way it’s nice and thin. Spread on a real thin layer of cinnamon frosting and it’s perfect for breakfast with a cup of coffee, or as dessert.

I know a lot of folks who don’t eat eggs (they’re allergic, for health reasons, or concerns about animal cruelty). Here’s an awesome site that gives tips on cooking and baking without eggs: http://EggFreeLiving.com

Oh yum! These look delicious! I love zucchini and zucchini bread, but have never had it with cinnamon. This sounds so good!
Your zucchini bars looks delicious! I have only one zucchini plant but I’ve already picked one and there are several more that are almost ready. I will have to try this!

I’m on zucchini overload, so I’ll have to give these a try! I’d love to have one right now…
I’m posting zucchini recipes all week!
I am so making this, too bad my garden zukes have already given up for the summer, but I will surely make this next year. Thanks for sharing.
Looks SO yummy! Thanks for linking up. Just wanted to let you know I’ll be featuring you next week.
I’ll be making these tomorrow morning! I just got 3 HUGE zucchinis from a friend’s garden and saw mine are finally coming in too! These look delicious! Thank you!
I wish I had seen these before. I just went through the last of my zucchinni to make a Zucchini Frittata – I am thinking these would have been better to sooth my never ending sweet tooth. Thanks for linking to Fat Camp Friday, enjoy your weekend and see you next time! http://bit.ly/mTxy7l
These look fantastic!
I love to bake in my jelly roll pan. Somehow I justify that the thinner the cake square, the more I can eat. These look delicious. Zucchini is so good with cinnamon. Thanks for sharing on A Well-Seasoned Life’s Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
Looks delicous! Found you via Sweet as Sugar Cookie’s link up. Can’t wait to make these as my hubby has been bugging me for Zucchini Bars!
I love zucchini desserts and can’t wait to give this a try…especially since I discovered that my daughter accidentally grabbed us a bag of zucchinis instead of cucumbers at the grocery store the other day!
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for visiting Cast Party Wednesday and I hope you join me again tomorrow and share more of your great recipes!
Thanks,
I hope to see you tomorrow!
Wanted to let you know I made these last week and linked back to you in my post! They were fantastic! Thanks so much for the recipe! http://aturtleslifeforme.blogspot.com/2011/07/and-when-she-saw-size-of-it-little-lady.html
