Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread

People talking
This is very different from the usual zucchini loaves. First of all, it bakes into a round loaf and contains wheat. This is one of my favorites. One of my former neighbors used to bake a lot of items with wheat flour, and this is one of her own creations that she shared with me. Thanks Carol! Prep time allows for shredding the zucchini (I use my food processor).

ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 egg whites (you may use egg substitutes)
- 1⁄2 cup applesauce
- 1⁄2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups fresh zucchini, unpeeled, shredded
- 1⁄2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
directions
- Spray a 9" round baking tin with nonstick spray and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Stir together both types of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center of this mixture.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy (not too much- just foamy, NOT to make a meringue).
- To the egg whites, add applesauce, buttermilk, and vanilla and stir using a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the zucchini until well combined.
- Pour this wet mixture into the"well" you made in the flour mixture and stir just until ingredients are all moistened and gently combined- press out any large lumps with your spoon, but don't overmix.
- Gently fold in the nuts, if using,- don't overmix or you will have tough bread.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean.
- Cool bread in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

I made my bread in the bread machine using quick bread setting. I used 3 eggs. 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger and only 3/4 cup sugar. Came out delicious ??

I made this for my son and had to have a taste, even though I am monitoring my sugar intake closely. No heaviness problems, the bread was light and fragrant with spices. Definitely 5 stars for flavor, but at 84% of the daily recommended allowance of sugar, it isn't suitable for someone trying to cut back on sweets. Still, for someone with no strict dietary restrictions, this is an excellent recipe.

Made this last night, in muffin form (about 20, for 25 min at 350), and will be making it again today (as I haven't used all of my GIGANTIC zucchini). I omitted the nuts, DH doesn't like them, and used 3 of our chicken's eggs (on the smaller size) instead of the egg whites, along with 1% milk for the buttermilk. Very good bread with excellent flavor from all the spices. I didn't have a heaviness problem like a few have posted. They were light, moist, and came cleanly out of the paper muffin liner w/o any sort of greasing. Gave 5 stars, but thought it was a bit too sweet and will cut down on the amount of sugar next time. Great recipe!

My family and I did not care for this bread. I did follow the directions. This came out rubbery on the outside and too dense and moist for our tastes on the the inside. I won't make this again.
