By ldelmas

Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg and 1 egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour (can substitute whole wheat or more white)
• 2/3 cup granulated sweetener*
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 cup shortening

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, stir together the buttermilk, egg, egg white, zucchini, and vanilla. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, combine next 7 ingredients (all-purpose flour through nutmeg). Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or two knives, cut shortening into flour mixture until crumbly. Make a well in the center and add the zucchini mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, stir until dry ingredients are moistened.

4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

*If using a natural sugar/stevia blend, like Truvia for Baking, use 1/3 cup.
