A delicious light version of a classic quick bread. It is so moist and rich you would never guess it didn't have all the oil of the original version.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon allspice

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 cups grated zucchini

  • ½ cup grated carrots

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

  2. Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and allspice together in a bowl. Beat sugar, applesauce, and eggs together in a separate bowl; mix into the flour mixture until batter is just combined. Fold zucchini and carrots into batter. Divide batter between the prepared loaf pans.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Tips

Cook's Notes:

This is a very forgiving bread. Feel free to experiment with nuts and/or raisins.

You could also substitute Splenda(R) for some or all of the sugar or Egg Beaters(R) for the whole eggs if you are looking for something even lighter!
