Everybody likes dessert, do you agree? So while a decadent sweet treat is fun now and then, I tend to select treats that have as much health value as possible – for me as well as for my kiddos. My favorite dessert recipes are not a lot of sugar, but still yummy. Bars are among the easiest sweets and treats to produce. Just mix the batter, pour it into a saucepan, and bake it. It doesn’t need for lengthy periods of scooping small portions or standing at the stove. I love anything that makes meals easier to prepare. And these delicious Lemon Zucchini Bars make the dessert amazing but also contain vegetables. Try this recipe for Lemon Zucchini Bars, and don’t forget to enjoy it with your family and friends.
