Servings: 12
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup of FUTURELIFE®ZERO Smart Food™
- ½ cup cake flour
- 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 200g zucchini, finely grated
- 50g walnuts, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. of canola oil
- Vanilla essence to taste
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180°C
- In a bowl, whisk eggs until thoroughly combined.
- Incorporate the grated zucchini, chopped walnuts, vanilla essence, and canola oil into the egg mixture.
- Mix in FUTURELIFE®Zero, flour and baking powder until just combined.
- Mix in 300ml water to form the batter. The batter should be thick and sticky. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
- Spoon the batter into a greased, medium-sized bread pan (around 28 x 18cm).
- Bake for 40 – 45 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a skewer – it should come out clean when the bread is ready.
- Allow the bread to cool before removing it from the pan and slicing it.
- Slice the loaf into 12 slices (±2.5cm thick).
Optional – serve with low-fat cottage cheese or mozzarella.
NOTE: Recommended serving size for a snack: 1 slice
