Golden Zucchini Bread

By Vegiegail

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 Tbsp poppy seed
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/3 cup maple syrup (*Thank you Christa!)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• zest of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup green or yellow zucchini (or combination of both), grated plus 2 Tbsp for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, until well combined. Whisk wet ingredients in a separate bowl and add to dry ingredients. Stir just enough to mix together, then add zucchini.

Transfer mixture to loaf pan, and distribute reserved zucchini over top. Bake until golden, about 45 minutes. Allow bread to cool for 10 minutes, then turn loaf out onto wire rack to cool completely.
