I was paging through one of my Amish recipe books and came across this recipe. I know it sounds weird but I love looking for new recipes and I love trying something that sounds a little bit different.
For me, this recipe seemed different as it had shredded carrots and oatmeal in it. Any other zucchini recipe usually doesn’t have that so I thought I would give these a try.
I didn’t have a small carrot but had some baby carrots. Oh my. I almost shaved my thumb trying to shred the baby carrots. Lesson learned there!!
Doesn’t the batter look good? I love the different colors of it.
So what did we think of them?
This photo was taken about two hours after I made them. I’d say it’s an indication that the family liked them!!
I was taking care of Georgia when I made them and sent a container with some in with Kelli when I met her with Georgia. Kelli thought the bars were so good that she messaged me at 10:30pm to tell me how much she liked them. HA!! I guess that makes this recipe a keeper. I love finding “keeper” recipes.
Did this recipe in one of “the Amish cooks” cookbooks? The added oatmeal sounds like a good texture add.
This sounds great, Jo!
Thanks so much for sharing the recipe…I will be trying it soon!
I plan to try it although might need to wait a year since my zucchini supply has ended. I was given a bunch of short nubbby carrots so I made a carrot cake today. I decided for these carrots I had to use food processor and not put any finger in the cake. I had so many carrots I also made a carrot raisin salad. Will this recipe be posted in the “recipe” category?
My mom used to make a chocolate zucchini cake! It was really good!
I love anything zucchini. I sometimes buy it at Aldi’s. I like to spread Olive Oil on it and grill it then add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese after I grill both sides. Also like to make zucchini bread add orange zest, and craisins.
I have had this very recipe for years! It’s always a much anticipated event when we get that first zucchini that’s big enough to make these!! They are delicious and addicting!!
