Raspberry Lemon Loaf – Healthy To Fit

Advertisements

Today I made the most, moist delicious bread in a very long time.  I am so pleased with it I could just scream.

Yield: 12 servings (1 loaf)

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup low-fat, lemon- flavored yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, egg, egg whites, and lemon zest. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Gently fold in raspberries.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely before slicing.

Tips:

  • If the loaf begins to brown during baking, cover the loaf lightly with a piece of foil until finished. This will prevent it from darkening too much.
