Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 egg whites

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup canola oil

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

3 cups sifted all-purpose unbleached flour

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

2 cups grated fresh zucchini (about 2 small

zucchini)

 

Heat the oven to 350F. Lightly coat the bottom and sides of two 8-by-4-by-2

1Ú2-inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. Lightly dust with about 2

tablespoons of flour. Set aside.

 

In a large bowl combine the egg whites, sugar, canola oil and applesauce. Beat

on medium speed with an electric mixer until the sugar has dissolved and the

mixture is foamy. Add the cinnamon, vanilla and salt and beat until combined.

 

In a separate bowl, combine the baking soda, baking powder, sifted flour and

chopped nuts. Stir to mix ingredients and coat nuts in flour. Dump the flour

mixture into the applesauce mixture and beat on low speed just until the liquid

ingredients begin to show through the dry ones. Turn off mixer. Fold in the

zucchini and mix the ingredients by hand, using a flexible spatula or wooden

spoon, until no flour shows. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake 50 to 55

minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out

clean. Cool on racks for 15 to 20 minutes then remove from pans and cool

completely.

 

Makes 2 loaves or 24 slices.
