directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (2 L) loaf pan; set aside. Stir the all-purpose flour with the whole-wheat flour, ground flax, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

Step 2

Combine the zucchini, milk, oil and egg in a separate bowl. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the pecans. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a tester comes out clean when inserted into the center. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely.
