"I called these Suprise Bars because of the fact most people are surprised when they find out there is Zucchini in here and these are also Gluten Free! (Bet you can't eat just one!)"

These are excellent and I will definitely make them again. I was a little concerned at the large amount of cinnamon in these but it wasn't over-powering at all. Nice to have recipes that are written for gluten free. Thanks for posting this!

Very nice tasting bars, these! I pretty much followed the recipe & loved the combo of flavors! Was especially pleased at it's gluten-free aspect, since I do have friends who really need this kind of recipe, & I don't mind accommodating them when I can! Definitely worth making again! Thanks for creating this wonderful recipe!

Great recipe- easy to make and tastes so good! Nobody would guess that these bars are gluten-free or that they would have zucchini as the secret ingredient. I was tempted to make a 1/2 quantity of this recipe, but so glad I made the full recipe :D Really enjoyed this recipe and I will be making this one again. Wishing you good luck in the Dining on A $ competition. Photo also to be posted

Yes, delicious and gluten free. The recipe was reduced by half and baked in an 8x8 inch square pan. When cutting them I got 9 very nice servings for half the recipe. They were moist and delicious. Good luck in the contest.

Just recently found out I am a Celiac and can nolonger eat gluten! I also have cows milk allergies. To a lesser degree egg yolks. Cooking is not as much fun or should I say more of a challenge. I still enjoy it. I live in St.Petersburg, Florida for the past 16 years, I am originally from New Jersey. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/zaar%20book%20swap/pupread-1-1-1-1-1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> partner: ShirlJ
