LOW CARB Zucchini Nut Bread

• 1 cup ground almonds
• 1/2 cup soy protein powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup splenda -- (I use equivalent liquid sucralose
• to reduce carbs)
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup butter -- melted
• 1 medium zucchini, coarsely grated
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest -- or orange zest
• vegetable oil spray

1. Mix dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Pour into a sprayed or buttered 8" x 4" x 2" loaf pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean. Cool the loaf laying on its side on a wire rack until it can be touched with bare hands, then invert it quickly onto a cooking rack. Using another rack, turn the bread so it is right side
up. Slice into 12 slices.
