Recipe View 5 mins Spread the spiced cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled zucchini bars. Cut into 16 squares and serve. (5 minutes)

For best results, squeeze out any excess moisture from the shredded zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will prevent the bars from becoming soggy.
To toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Alternatively, you can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Feel free to add other spices to the frosting, such as nutmeg or allspice, to taste.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
