Cherry Pecan Cake






     If you enjoy fresh Cherries, then this one is for you.  But, lucky enough, if you have no access to these seasonal favorites, then frozen will be your new best friend!  Each of these 12 servings are only 190 calories, 27g carbs, 4g fiber, 23g net carbs, 8g protein and 6g fat.  This works great as breakfast, dessert, mid morning or afternoon snack.  And how bout those sneaky little vegetables hiding in every bite, not to mention completely sugar free.😊

Ingredients for 12 servings~

1 large (about 12oz) Zucchini

2 cups fresh Cherries (sub with frozen)

3 extra large ripe mashed Bananas

5.3oz 0% Fage Greek Yogurt

6 extra large Eggs

3 cups Oats

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Dash Vanilla 

Dash Cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped Pecans

     Grate Zucchini into dish towel, squeeze out excess liquid, set aside to rest and drain.  Meanwhile, pit Cherries, and slice in half, set aside.  Add Bananas to bowl and mash with Blender, then add in Yogurt and Eggs til well incorporated, next beat in Oats, Baking Powder, Vanilla and Cinnamon.  Lastly, add in Zucchini, followed by Cherries, reserve some to garnish on top.  Pour batter into parchment lined 9X13, top with remaining Cherries and Pecans.  Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes.  Enjoy 😉
