12 Loaves

SO today I finally found a Low Fat Zucchini Bread Recipe! I don't know about any of you but I LOVE LOVE LOVE zucchini bread but its SO fatty! SO here it is a low fat alternative that is REALLY REALLY GOOD! Its so good I made 12 loaves to give away to friends!

Low Fat Zucchini Bread

· 1 cup whole wheat flour

· 1 cup all-purpose flour

· 2/3 cup sugar

· 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

· 1/2 tsp baking soda

· 1/2 tsp salt

· 1/2 tsp nutmeg

· 1 cup grated zucchini (tightly packed)

· 1/4 cup canola oil

· 1 egg, lightly beaten

· 1 egg white

· 1 tsp vanilla

· 1 tbsp lemon zest (or more if you like lemon, I DO)

1/4 cup plain non-fat yogurt, drained

Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.Gently spoon flour into measuring cups (do not pack). Add flour to a large bowl, followed by the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Stir well with a wire whisk.In another bowl, combine the zucchini, oil, egg and egg white, vanilla, lemon zest and yogurt.Add zucchini mixture to flour mix, combining until just moist. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Yield: 2 loaves 12 servings each Per Serving: Calories 194, Total Fat 5.2g, Fiber 1.7g, (for all you other Weight Wathchers out there:)

So I doubled it and made 4 loaves each time! It was really easy and I just love it! Its not as sweet as the usual kind but the lemon adds a little zest! OOOoooh I need to go have one more piece!

I was so proud of myself after I finished my last 4 that I turned up my She Daisy and just twirled and danced around my living room while the kids were sleeping! And I haven't done that since I was 16! It felt so care free!!! I think I need to start dancing around just for fun again! Why not??

(I dont know why its doing the white boxes around the recipe...sorry!)
