Provided by Ceciliasmom

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 55m

Yield 4 mini loaves, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium zucchini, about 3/4 pound, grated
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup dried cherries, unsweetened (can also use dried cranberries)

Steps:

  • 2. In a large mixing bowl add the grated zucchini, sugar, egg , applesauce and oil. Mix well. Add the all-purpose and whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, milk and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
  • 3. Add the cherries and stir to thoroughly incorporate. Fill each of the prepared loaf pans about 3/4 full with batter and bake for 45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick or a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
  • 4. Remove pans from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. For the best flavor and texture, use young, tender zucchini. Look for zucchini that is about 6-8 inches long and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini coarsely. This will help the zucchini to distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough bread.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature. This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Let the bread cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

This low-fat lemon zucchini bread is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite quick bread. It is packed with zucchini, which is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The bread is also low in fat and calories, making it a great choice for those who are watching their weight.
