Whole Wheat Yellow Squash Bread

Our neighbors brought over beautiful heirloom yellow squash from their bountiful garden. I couldn’t wait to prepare a baked treat with it. I used a recipe that originally called for twice as much oil and 1/3 more sugar! I swapped out the half the fat with flaxseed and substituted half of the flour with whole wheat. You’ll never know the difference !

Yields 6 mini loaves or 2 large loaves

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 3/4 cup ap flour
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 milled flaxseed
2 1/2 sugar
2 cups of shredded yellow squash
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
4 eggs (lightly beaten)

Directions:

1.Place all flours, spices, salt , flaxseed, and soda in large bowl.

2. Whisk around the ingredients until blended well.

3. Place wet ingredients, and sugar in a separate bowl.

4. Whisk in squash.

5. Add the wet ingredients into dry.

6. Spray cooking spray on bread pans.

7. Place about a cup to a 1 1/2 cups in each mini pan.

8. Bake at 350 for 35-30 minutes for minis and an hour or until toothpick comes out clean for standard loaves.

Enjoy!
