Clean Eating Zucchini Bread

I always try my best to never waste food. First because it's damn expensive, but also because I know there are so many people in this world that are much less fortunate. I usually do a pretty good job of planning out all my meals before I go grocery shopping and this keeps me (for the most part) from buying too many extras or too much of any one thing. Every once and while something will slip through the cracks, for example this week when I ended up with 7 zucchinis... what!? Don't know what I was thinking! I made some grilled zucchini and I've been slicing them up to snack on during the day, but I knew there was no way I was going to make it through all of them (especially when the fiance is not a fan).

This recipe only ended getting rid of one zucchini, but at least that helps a little!

Ingredients

1 large zucchini, grated

1 1/2 cups oat flour

2/3 cup applesauce

3 egg whites

8 packets Truvia

2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp poppy seeds

1/4 tsp nutmeg

pinch of salt

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
[UPDATE] You may want to squeeze some water out of your grated zucchini before combining ingredients. I didn't do this, but I've had people tell me their bread came out too moist.

2. Combine all ingredients except nuts in mixer and mix well.

3. Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan and sprinkle nuts on top, if desired.

4. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

I had a slice this morning topped with a little greek yogurt and cinnamon and it was perfect and sooo moist! Great switch up from my typical oatmeal or Ezekiel bread. B loved it too!
