• 3/4 cup(s) whole-wheat flour
• 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
• 2 large egg whites, at room temperature (see Tip)
• 1 cup(s) sugar, or 1/2 cup Splenda
• 1/2 cup(s) unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tablespoon(s) canola oil
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) lemon extract (optional)
• 1 cup(s) grated zucchini, lightly packed (about 8 ounces)
• 2 tablespoon(s) chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 mini 6-by-3-inch loaf pans with cooking spray.

Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.

Whisk egg whites, sugar (or Splenda), applesauce, oil and lemon extract (if using) in a medium bowl. Stir in zucchini.

Make a well in the dry ingredients; slowly, mix in the zucchini mixture with a rubber spatula. Fold in walnuts. Do not overmix. Transfer the batter to the prepared pans.

Bake the loaves until a toothpick comes out almost clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto the rack to cool completely.
