Sugar-Free Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread image

We had a bumper crop of zucchini this year, so what to do? I took a basic zucchini bread recipe and tweaked it so that my hubby and I could enjoy a healthier version. We're not diabetic but we have avoided excess sugar consumption for some time now, and we're trying to incorporate more whole grains and fewer refined flour...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs or 6 egg whites
1 1/4 c canola oil
1 1/2 c stevia-in-the-raw cup-for-cup sweetener
1 tsp vanilla
2 c grated unpeeled raw zucchini
2 c whole wheat flour (i use king arthur brand)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch cloves
1 c chopped walnuts
1/4 c milk (i used silk almond milk)
1/4 c orange juice (optional...don't thin batter too much)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs, oil, stevia sweetener and vanilla until light and thick. Sift together dry ingredients. Fold zucchini, then dry ingredients, into wet batter until just blended; add nuts. Pour into greased pan(s). I also cover the bottom of the pan with a strip of waxed paper to prevent bread from getting stuck. If you do a loaf pan, the recipe calls for 1 hour 15 minutes or until done. I used 3 mini loaf pans and they were baked in about 30-35 minutes.
