Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl combine the oil, honey, and beaten eggs; stir until well mixed.
Add the zucchini, carrots, and vanilla; stir until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
Pour these ingredients into the egg mixture; and then stir the combination until well mixed.
Add the raisins and walnuts to the batter and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 13x9x2 baking dish and spread out evenly. Place the bars in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool until just warm. Spread glazed topping over the top of the bars while the bars are still slightly warm.
Spread the glaze topping over the bars as indicated below.

GLAZE TOPPING:

Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until the glaze is a consistency that can be drizzled.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm bars; then spread it out so the bars are evenly coated.
