Delicious Winter Carrot Zucchini Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• nonstick cooking spray
• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 egg whites
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup grated unpeeled zucchini
• 1 cup grated carrot
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and baking powder. Ensure ingredients are well combined and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until light and frothy. Add brown sugar, zucchini, carrots, applesauce, and vanilla; mix until well combined. Stir in raisins and pecans. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just blended. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and cooling completely on a wire rack.
