2 cups grated zucchini (you can add a little more, I always do!)
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
Grease two 8 x 4 inch pans or 6 mini loaf plans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Assemble your ingredients. Mix flour, salt, baking powder, soda, nutmeg and cinnamon together in a bowl.
Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. {I always sneak in a few spoonfuls of flax!}
Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well.
Grate zucchini. Stir into the mixture along with the nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. My mini-loaf pans take about 35-40 minutes. Large sized loaves take about 55 minutes. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool. Enjoy!

Actually Debbie there are strategies that make it possible to make our food choices with freedom. We don’t have to be restricted by glycemic outcomes when we have the knowledge and empowerment to adjust our bolus strategies to match our food choices. Now how foods effect our weight, digestion and other health needs is going to be individual as well, but diabetes is not a limiting factor, our personal choices are.
people with diabetes should not eliminate sugar from their diet. Glucose is a form of sugar and is necessary for healthy brain and nerve function. What is important is to moderate sugar intake just like everyone should, and to know how to balance sugar intake with medication, physical activity and our body’s needs to maintain good health.
As a type 1 diabetic this would kill me. Get real!
