Healthy Zucchini Bread

This is a recipe I found online and I have tweaked and twisted a few things and I'd love you to do the same if you feel inspired to do so...

Ingredients:

3/4 cup chopped raw organic walnuts

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup of plant-based milk

2 eggs or 2 x flax eggs (see note)

1 tspn bi-carb soda

1 tspn cinnamon

2 tspn organic vanilla extract

1/2 tspn celtic sea salt

1 + 1/2 cups grated zucchini - squeeze out excess liquid

1 + 3/4 cups wholemeal plain flour

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 170c degrees and grease a loaf tin and line with baking paper.

2. In a large bowl, add the oil and maple syrup and beat with a whisk until combined. Add the eggs/flax eggs and beat well.

3. Add the milk, bi-carb soda, vanilla, salt and whisk to blend.

4. Add the zucchini and stir with a wooden spoon. Add the flour and stir just until combined.

5. Gently fold in the walnuts.

6. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Let the bread cool in the pan.

7. This bread is moist and may need longer in the oven.

   
   
   
   

   Note: to make one flax egg - use 1 tablespoon flax meal and add 3 tbspn of water and mix.

   
   

   I'm going to try adding some grated carrot next time and using some roughly chopped almonds...
