Not too bad for you zucchini bread
(makes 2 8-inch loaf pans)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Bowl 1 (combine all ingrediants):
1 whole egg and 2egg whites (you can substitute 1/4 C applesauce for the whole egg if desired)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup non-fat plain yogurt (soy, goat or cow although I like Nancy's or Strauss best)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Bowl 2 (mix all ingredients):
2 cups flour (I usually use 1/2 wheat and 1/2 plain)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2teaspoon baking powder
Combine bowl 1 with bowl 2.
Add:
2 cups of grated zucchini
1/3 cup chopped nuts
Pour mixture into two greased loaf pans and bake for45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
As a special treat, I highly recommend melting one or two squares of unsweetened plain bakers chocolate and mixing into the batter as a last step. It changes the color of the bread and also makes it seem like dessert. You can use the same recipe + chocolate for a healthy version of cupcakes.
Enjoy!
