Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup grated zucchini (230g)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (120g)
- 1/2 cup sugar-free pancake syrup (120g) or pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour (180g) use gluten-free if needed
- 1 scoop protein powder (31g) I used PEScience Snickerdoodle
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper and/or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add the egg, applesauce, pancake syrup, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until ingredients are well combined and there are no clumps.
- Add the flour and the protein powder and fold with a spatula just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix! Mixing the batter too much or too vigorously can result in dense, flat bread.
- Add zucchini and stir just until combined.
- Pour batter in prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove and place the pan on a wire cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
