HEALTHIER ZUCCHINI BREAD IV

Healthier Zucchini Bread IV image

Kristen is right, her mom's zucchini bread recipe is great! We gave it a healthier spin by reducing the sugar, increasing the nuts, and adding a bit of buckwheat flour. Buckwheat flour is very nutritious: it contains the 8 amino acids, is high in lysine, and is a good source of B vitamins and iron - and it's gluten-free!

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 cups grated zucchini
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
Beat eggs until light and frothy in a large bowl. Mix in oil and sugar. Stir in zucchini and vanilla extract. Combine all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour), buckwheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nuts in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Divide batter into prepared pans.
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.
