Zucchini Bread


Serves: 18
Total Calories: 77

Ingredients

1 cup unbleached flour, white
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder, double-acting
3 egg whites, large
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 packets artificial sweetener (equal to 2 tablespoons sugar)
1 1/2 cups zucchini, fresh, well-packed, shredded

Directions:

This recipe is from The New Diabetic Cookbook, by Mabel Cavaiani (Contemporary Books, 1984). I use whole wheat pastry flour for added nutrition and fiber.

1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
2. Place flour, cinnamon, salt, soda, and baking powder in a mixer bowl and mix at low speed to blend well.
3. Place egg whites, oil, vanilla, and sweetener in a cup and mix well with a fork to blend.
4. Add zucchini to flour mixture along with oil mixture and mix at medium speed until well blended and creamy.
5. Pour into 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan that has been greased with diet margarine. Bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean from the center and the bread pulls away from the side of the pan. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool to room temperature.
