Zucchini-Pecan Flax Seed Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup ground flax seeds
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
    1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
    1/2 cup egg substitute
    3 tablespoons canola oil
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
    cooking spray
    3 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
    Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, granulated sugar, and next 7 ingredients (through nutmeg) in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
    Spread zucchini onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels; cover with additional paper towels. Press down firmly to remove excess liquid.
    Combine yogurt, egg substitute, oil, and vanilla in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Stir in zucchini.
    Add zucchini mixture and 1/4 cup pecans to flour mixture, stirring until well combined. Pour batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle batter with 3 tablespoons pecans. Bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove bread from pan; place on wire rack.
