Ingredients
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup zucchini, shredded (about 1/2 small)
-
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
-
1/4 cup canola oil
-
1/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
-
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
-
cooking spray
-
1/2 cup carrot, grated (about 1 small)
-
1/2 cup apple, grated (about 1 small Granny Smith)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine flours and next five ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl until dry ingredients are well blended.
- In a separate small bowl whisk together canola oil, buttermilk and eggs. (Kitchen tip: sour milk can substitute for buttermilk. Milk can be soured by adding a small dash of vinegar to a bit less than 1/4 milk. Let milk sour for a few minutes before mixing into wet ingredients.).
- Add wet mixture to dry mixture, stirring until moist. Fold in grated apple, zucchini and carrots and walnuts, mixing until evenly distributed throughout batter.
- Pour batter into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack.
