I found a recipie for "healthy" zucchini bread and tweeked it a bit so it's even better!!! Only 56 Calories per slice!!!!
This is a halfed recipie

3 egg whites (original calls for 5 but I couldn't figure out how to do half an egg white)
1 cup Splenda (if using "granulated" splenda for baking a cup is a cup, but if using the packets 24 packets = 1 cup. I also think it's a little sweet for me, so I would adjust it to 3/4 of a cup or 18 packets)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp vanilla
1.5 cup shredded zucchini

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbl cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg

Combine egg whites, splenda, applesauce and vanilla. Add zucchini and mix well. Sift together dry ingedients and then slowly add to wet.

divide into 2 small loaf pans and bake at 325 for about 40 mins (or until knife comes out clean)
I sliced both loaves into 5 pieces (so 10 servings total)
