Zucchini, carrot, and apples add moisture and flavor, elminating the need for excess butter and oil. This simple cake only takes about 10 minutes to prepare the batter, and it's great for breakfast. Each serving is 1 slice. I found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. I plan to use Splenda for the sugar.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add grated apple, grated carrot, shredded zucchini, and walnuts to the flour mixture; toss well. Combine canola oil, buttermilk, and eggs in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Spoon batter into an 8x4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
