I adapted this recipe from Desserts and Sweet Snacks to a healthier version. Be sure to use freshly grated lemon as that adds the biggest punch of flavor! Take this recipe to swoon your in-laws or impress your friends.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar - (I use Splenda)
2 eggs, lightly beaten (or 1/2 c. egg beaters)
3/4 c. skim milk
1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1 c. raisins
1 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbsp grated zest of 1 lemon
Chopped walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add sugar, eggs, milk, olive oil and beat well.
3. Toss raisins in flour to coat evenly. This prevents the raisins from clumping.
4. Add zest and raisins to distribute evenly.
5. Spray and flour a loaf pan. Transfer batter into pan and bake for 55 minutes or until a thin skewer inserted in the center comes out dry. Let cool for 20 minutes before consuming.
