From cooking Light. Have not tested this, but looks like a good recipe to try soon!. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup ground flax seeds |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini) |
1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt |
1/2 cup egg substitute |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
cooking spray |
3 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
