This classic expertly pairs the sweetness of sugar with the tangy flavour of fresh lemon.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cup(s)

Sugar

6 tbsp(s), granulated

Baking powder

2½ tsp(s)

Ground cinnamon

1 tsp(s)

Baking soda

½ tsp(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Ground nutmeg

¼ tsp(s)

1% low-fat buttermilk

¾ cup(s)

Packed light brown sugar

¼ cup(s)

Reduced-calorie margarine

2 tbsp(s), melted

Liquid egg substitute

¼ cup(s)

Fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp(s)

Vanilla extract

1 tsp(s)

Zucchini

1½ cup(s), uncooked, shredded, packed coarsely

Lemon zest

2 tsp(s), finely grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; mix well with a fork, make a well in the centre and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, brown sugar, margarine, egg substitute, lemon juice and extract; stir in zucchini and lemon zest. Add mixture to dry ingredients and mix until just blended.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted near the centre comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool in pan, on a wire rack, for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan and cool completely. Slice into 10 pieces and serve. (Note: The base of the quick bread is also perfect for apple-cinnamon bread. Simply substitute an equal amount of grated McIntosh apples for the zucchini.)
