Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Coat 2 mini 6 x 3 inch loaf pans with cooking spray.

Whisk whole wheat flour, flour baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.

Whisk egg whites, sugar, applesauce, oil and lemon extract in a medium bowl. Stir in zucchini.

Make a well in the dry ingredients; slowly, mix in the zucchini mixture with a rubber spatula. Fold in walnuts. Do not overmix. Transfer to the prepared pans.

Bake the loaves until a toothpick comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack for about 5 minutes, then turn out to cool completely.
