Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1-cup white whole-wheat flour
1-teaspoon baking soda
1-teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground flax seed meal
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 2/3 cup sugar

Instructions
- Heat oven 350F. Spray a coffeecake pan or Bundt pan (or any pan you like that has at least a 10-cup capacity or 2 small loaf pans) with no-stick cooking baking spray.
- In bowl, sift flours, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cinnamon; stir in flax seed meal and set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and mint. Add dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon until dry ingredients are moistened. The mixture will be very thick.
- Add zucchini and mix very well to loosen up the batter. Stir in nuts.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 5o to 60 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes before inverting onto rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
Notes
*Note: I grate my zucchini on the large cutters of a box grater and squeeze out some of the excess moisture with paper towels.
As always I recommend King Arthur Flour, as it is consistently the best.
