Zucchini Bread..what kind of flour to use

[toastythemosty]

I usually make zucchini bread, but in the past I have used the regular white flour. What kind of flour should I use now to avoid all the carbs, etc. Can I get it at Wal Mart? Sorry, but I don't live in a big city and Wal Mart is all there is around here.

I don't know about lo-carb, but I always bake with whole wheat flour, zucchini bread included and you really can't tell the difference, it is still yummy!!! I really don't care about the carbs, though honestly, just the fiber. Gotta take care of that colon or else.... x(

I always use a mix of whole wheat (pastry flour if I'm doing something like a bread/muffin/cake,etc. and soy flour. Walmart happens to be where I buy both b/c they have the best price. So I bet you'll be able to find it there. The whole wheat flour will make sure that you get some good grains and the soy flour will cut down on the carbs, and add extra protein!
Good luck,

Charlotte, I always use whole wheat flour, too. Doesn't cut out the carbs, but does add good fiber and nutrients. I also add a couple of tablespoons of wheat germ - can't taste it and it's so good for you.

OK, can we see some great Zucchini bread recipies utilizing whole wheat flour? How about banana bread recipes? Can Splenda be substituted successfully for the sugar?

I often use barley flour for baked goods (which I don't make often, but when I do...). It's a whole grain flour, but "lighter" than whole wheat pastry (though it can substitute for it). It is also slightly sweet. I have no idea about the carb content, because I don't give a rat's patooty about the carb content of whole foods. Also, trying to make some things like breads low carb makes them frankly somewhat inedible, IMO.

O.K. I just got a package out to look:
1/4 cup has 0 fat, 23 gm of carbs, of which 5 are fiber, and 3 gm of proteinh.
