So, I'm easing into a new diet. A migraine diet, (as found in a chapter in
this book, recommended to me by a nutritionist). The idea of this diet is essentially, a bunch of things I can eat without worrying that they will cause a migraine. Yes, it's pretty much an elimination diet (which I have heretofore refused to do), but honeslty, I haven't really felt that way about it. It's a no-worry diet. (
Here's a list of some things I am to avoid.) So, I'm learning how to cook new things and eat things I've either never really liked or never even heard of. No red apples- only green? Oh, I guess the green ones
can taste good. Oh, and quinoa is amazing. One of my new favorites and is now one of my staples :)
So anyways... along with this, I was looking for a nice recipe for zucchini bread, with none of those migraine ingredients. I found
one, and adapted it per my preferences and supplies. Below is my recipe (yes, I am now officially one of those Mormons who shares recipes on their blogs... never thought I would join that prestigious circle). I made two loaves of bread, and 9 mini muffins. I ate most of the muffins relatively immediately, but did pause to take some pictures. oh, and they are delicious.
3 eggs (omega-3 fortified)
1 cup canola oil
2 cups demerara cane sugar (it's this beautiful thing from guyana)
2 cups squash (grated and drained). i used zucchini and a couple of other similarly shaped squashes (yellow and stripey green). dunno their names.
3 tsps vanilla
3 cups wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 tsps cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
2-3 cups fresh blueberries
| 1 | beat eggs till foamy |
| 2 | add oil,sugar,zucchini,and vanilla |
| 3 | mix lightly |
| 4 | sift dry ingredients together and gradually add to egg mixture |
| 5 | blend well |
| 6 | add blueberries and fold into batter |
| 7 | pour into a loaf pan and bake at 350 dgrees for 45 minutes (about 12 minutes for mini muffins) |
| 8 | check at 30 minutes to prevent burning |
