Turn on the oven and turn up the taste! Great for fall, Thanksgiving, or any holiday dinner that calls for a hearty side dish, this classic zucchini bread recipe pairs the sweetness of sugar with the tangy flavor of fresh lemon, and of course, veggies! It's also a great versatile base that's perfect with another fall favorite item - apples. 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 and you've got another crowd-pleaser on the table.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 spray(s), or enough to coat pan

All-purpose flour

2 cup(s)

Sugar

6 Tbsp, granulated

Baking powder

2½ tsp

Ground cinnamon

1 tsp

Baking soda

½ tsp

Table salt

¼ tsp

Ground nutmeg

¼ tsp

1% low fat buttermilk

¾ cup(s)

Packed light brown sugar

¼ cup(s)

Reduced-calorie margarine

2 Tbsp, melted

Liquid egg substitute

¼ cup(s)

Fresh lemon juice

2 Tbsp

Vanilla extract

1 tsp

Uncooked zucchini

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

Lemon zest

2 tsp, 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 center 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 center 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.)
