Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the first 6 ingredients, (oil through vanilla extract). Stir the grated zucchini with a large spoon, and mix until combined through vanilla extract). Stir in the grated zucchini with a large spoon, and mix until well combined.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Create a well in the center and add the zucchini mixture. Stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Spoon mixture into prepared pan and smooth the surface.

*If you prefer to use all natural Truvia for Baking, use 1/2 as much as the recipe specifies for no calorie granulated sweetener (it’s twice as sweet). If you prefer regular sugar, omit 1/4 teaspoon of the baking soda, and plan for ~ 10 minutes more baking time.
