Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350F / 180C and line an 8″ x 12″ inch (20cm x 30cm) cake pan with parchment paper.
Sauté bacon and onion: In a large frying pan, sauté the chopped bacon over medium heat until the fat renders out and it starts to brown. Add the chopped onion and continue cooking until onions are soft and bacon is crisp. Set aside to cool down.

Notes

Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
What kind of pan to use? I use this 8×12 inch (20×30 cm) cake pan. If you are in Australia, a Lamington pan is perfect. Don’t worry if your pan or baking dish isn’t exactly this size. I have also used a 9×13 inch pan before too. Just note that cooking time and thickness will vary depending on the pan size
Flour: A variety of different types of flour can be used in this forgiving recipe. I have also tried spelt and whole wheat flour. They all work but whole grain will be a bit more dense.
Squeeze out zucchini! To avoid a soggy zucchini slice, make sure to squeeze out excess water from the grated zucchini before adding to the batter.
