ZUCCHINI LEMON BARS

Ingredients

• 2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup nonfat lemon or plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon zest, finely grated
• 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup shredded zucchini
• 4 tbsp. confectioners' sugar, sifted

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9" square baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, mixing until blended.

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, butter, zest, and juice. Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Blend in zucchini. Do not overmix.

Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, then cut into bars.
