"Light" Zucchini Bread


If you live near someone with a garden, then you've probably had the grower try to pawn some of their zucchini off on you...it just keeps growing, and growing, and growing. Here's a good recipe to use it in!

Ingredients
· 3 cups all-purpose flour
· 1 teaspoon baking powder
· 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
· 1/2 cup egg substitute
· 1/3 cup canola oil
· 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
· 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
· 1 large egg, lightly beaten
· 1 1/2 cups sugar
· 3 cups shredded zucchini (12 ounces)
· 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
· Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350°.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through baking soda) in a large bowl.
Combine egg substitute and next 4 ingredients (through egg) in a large bowl; add sugar, stirring until combined. Add zucchini; stir until well combined. Add flour mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in walnuts.
Divide batter evenly between 2 (8 x 4-inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.

I gave away most of the zucchini bread Iona gave us--then ate almost the entire bag of zucchini cookies! Nice.
