Category: , ,


How scrumptious do these look? I got this recipe courtesy of Grow Alabama and can not wait to try them this weekend!



1 3/4 cups of Quakers Oats, quick or old fashioned, uncooked
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1 cup of shredded carrots, about 2 large
1/2 cup of shredded zucchini, about 1 medium
2/3 cup of skim milk
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
1/4 cup of Quaker Oats, quick or old fashioned, uncooked
1 tablespoon of chopped nuts
1 tablespoon of margarine, melted

Heat oven to 400ºF. Line 12 medium muffin cups with paper baking cups or spray bottoms only with nonstick cooking spray. Combine 1 3/4 cups oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and nutmeg. Add carrots, zucchini, milk, oil and egg whites, mixing just until moistened. Fill muffin cups almost full. Combine remaining ingredients, sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm Makes 12 muffins

This is a Paula Dean recipe that I played around with and attempted to lighten. The next time I make it, I may try to replace the oil altogether with applesauce. In any case, it was delicious! And, per my calculations, 4 points per serving if you go with 12 servings per loaf or it's 3 pts per serving if you go 16 servings per loaf.

Yield: 2 loaves
12 servings - 4 pts
16 servings - 3 pts

3-1/4 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1-3/4 cup sugar
1-1/4 cup Splenda
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 whole eggs plus 3 egg whites, beaten
1/3 cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
2 cups zucchini, shredded

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon, Splenda and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry. Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Alternately, bake in 5 mini loaf pans for about 45 minutes.
