Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, mix the yogurt (or sour cream) with fresh lemon juice until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the yogurt mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and lemon zest into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, whisk together powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice until smooth for the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars and let set before slicing.

Notes
