I actually don't peal the zucchini and it works quite well that way. (see green in photo) You only need to peal it if there is someone in your household who is sure to ask, "what's this weird green stuff?"

Has anyone made bars at home like the Oskri coconut bars? I got the plain ones down w/just unsweetened coconut and brown rice syrup. I decided to try to make but I have no idea about how to do it ?

This recipe looks great, but all that maple syrup would send my sugar soaring! I also do not eat grains, so will have to experiment on what to substitute for the whole wheat flour.
Don't know why, but lately zucchini has become a favorite veggie for me! Never really cared for it until now. Now, I look for anything zucchini!

I halved this since I only had 2 cups of zuchinni and I made it gluten free by using a GF flour blend and 1 1/8 tsp. xanathan gum and it came out great! So good :-)
