The Diabetic Pastry Chef‘s Sugar-Free Zucchini Bread Recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup white whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cardamom

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 cup vegetable oil

l large egg

1 cup dry sugar substitute of your choice

1 1/2 tsp molasses

2 tsps pure vanilla extract

1 medium zucchini, grated

1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped; optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×5″ bread loaf pan. It is advisable but not necessary to cut a piece of parchment to line the bottom of the pan for easy unmolding.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, except for the sugar substitute. Add nuts if using; set aside. In another medium bowl, combine and whisk the vegetable oil, egg, sugar substitute, molasses, and vanilla. Add the grated zucchini.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of the dry ingredients and stir just until combined being careful not to over mix. Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 45 or 55 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of bread comes out fairly clean.
