Whole Wheat Carrot Walnut Raisin Bread (No Oil)

Summer is almost gone and the warm and bright sun will be missed. But the house is already getting warm with the tasty nutty oven fresh breads. I can see the holidays coming:)

My family loves breads that incorporate healthy veggies and are honey sweet with some crunch from the nuts. This recipe of the whole wheat no oil carrot walnut raisin bread is super moist and each slice is under 100 cal making it perfect for a snack. It is also a great alternative to pancakes in the breakfast.

Recipe
Servers 1 9inch loaf
1 1/2 cups carrot, grated
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup applesauce
1/2 cup honey or brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup cran raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

  • Preheat oven at 350 deg C
  • In a bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together.
  • In another bowl, whisk the applesauce and honey/sugar. Add one egg at a time and keep beating using a electric mixer. Add all the other wet ingredients.
  • In 3 batches, mix the dry ingredients mixture. Mix well.
  • Add the nuts and cran raisins and fold into the mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 min.
