Blueberry Zucchini Squares image

I saw a bar recipe on a box of muffin mix using apple and lemon zest. I tried it from scratch with shredded zucchini and fresh blueberries instead. It's a tasty combo. -Shelly Bevington, Hermiston, Oregon

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I'm so glad I did! The zucchini is not overpowering at all, and the squares are so moist and flavorful.

These squares are amazing! The zucchini adds a moistness to the squares that is unlike any other zucchini bread I've ever had.
