Zucchini Bars

Ingredients
4 eggs
2 cups sugar or granulated honey (I buy it at at Bread Beckers)
1 cup melted butter or melted coconut oil
2 cups zucchini, Grated
3 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour (I ground 3:1 organic soft white and organic hard red)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

Frosting
4 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar (do to taste)
milk, as needed

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease/flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  1. In an electric mixer or by hand, beat eggs; add sugar and butter.
  2. Add vanilla; stir to mix well.
  3. In another bowl sift the dry ingredients together and slowly add to the egg mixture.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until done.
  5. While the bars are baking, whip the butter and cream cheese until light; add vanilla and powdered sugar.
  6. Beat until fluffy, adding a *little* milk as needed if frosting is too thick.
  7. Spread frosting on top of the bars when they are cooled.
