These bars are A-MAZING!!!!  I wish I had doubled the batch-- they are that good!  Thanks Alexis for another great recipe! :)

Well hello sweet and delicious Browuffin.... That's my word for Brownie &amp; Muffin! Ha Ha Ha! These look JAM PACKED with health and loads of fiber to keep you FULL and... REGULAR! Weeee! ;)

These are great! I have made them five times in the past month! I have been having a chocolate craving, so today I added 1/4 c. cocoa powder to the mix. Delish!

I made these last night and they were delicious!--I used honey instead of maple syrup I am on a gluten free diet and have been trying a variety of new recipes--this is a keeper. I brought one to work for my boss to try and he loved it too. Thanks for the recipe.

Thank you, Alexis, for sharing your expertise and your love of healthy food. I love that I stumbled onto you!! My dessert the last two nights consisted of your strawberry-chia seed pudding, and your zucchini almond butter bars. My only issue is that these recipes taste so good that I need to be careful and not chow down on too much of this delicious healthiness!

I made these vegan by using a flax egg, and they turned out perfectly!!

There is no way these can be healthy. They have all the warmth and comfort of my Moms zucchini loaf with a LOT less of the guilt! I attempted to make my own almond butter with my vitamix for the recipe and even though I would call that part of the venture a fail (basically made almond meal with coconut oil to hold it together) I still used it and it was still amazing. I'm glad I read the comments before trying because I was going to use PB instead but that probably would have been pretty weird and over powering. I am currently moderately obsessed with your blog, and have about 15 tabs open with different recipes I can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing :)

Oh. My. Gosh. These bars are to DIE FOR!!!

I know this post was from a few years ago, but I substituted peanut butter for the almond butter, since it was the only kind I had on hand,  and they still turned out fabulous! The peanut butter didn't overpower the taste at all and they were as soft as could be!

Made these this morning and it was a hit with my kids and coworkers. Just fyi - I didn't strain the zucchini and I used honey. I had to cook it maybe 10 minutes longer than the recipe said in my convection toaster oven. But it was well worth the wait. I love me some almond butter!

Love this recipe! Its great that it isn't too sweet and perfect for mornings on the go!
Thank you so much!

I made these for my kids and we all loved them. They were delicious. I always like zucchini bars but these were so much better than most.  I'll be making them again.

This looks absolutely delicious!
I'm gonna make it for my mum's birthday on Saturday.
Also just wondered what's you favorite guilty-pleasure dessert at the mo?
Keep up the great work:-)

Thanks for sharing your recipe, Alexis! I shared it with my wife.

OBSESSED with these and honestly make them on the reg. I sub flax egg, since I have an egg sensitivity, which works really well too!

Wow! These bars are delicious!! My 6 month old granddaughter is having her first bit of egg eating them and making the cutest “yummy” sounds!

was skeptical of how this would turn out because of the lack of flour, but this turned out incredible!! I subbed cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips and it was equally as delicious. I may not even put those in the next time I make them, they’re that good on their own!

I always look forward to an abundance of homegrown zucchini just to have an excuse to make these bars. The bars are simple and delightful.

I remember this recipe from 2013 - it's one of my all time faves!!! Thanks for it :)

So delicious and easy to put together. Taste like peanut butter brownies to me!
