Looking for a Zucchini Bread Recipe

1 cup unbleached or all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 and ½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground ginger
1 egg, beaten
½ cup applesauce
1 cup grated zucchini
½ cup grated carrots
½ cup pecans (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
2. Stir together flour, sugar, baking
powder, baking soda, salt, and ginger in a
large bowl.
3. Add the beaten egg, applesauce, grated
zucchini, and grated carrots in a small bowl
and mix well.
4. Combine the flour and liquid mixture
and blend till the dry ingredients are
moistened but not over mixed.
5. Spray a 9-inch loaf pan or a 12-cup
muffin tin with cooking spray and add the
batter. (I like to use a ¼ cup measure to
quickly and easily scoop out the batter
when I make muffins.)
6. Bake about 25-30 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted in the middle comes out
clean.
[*UPDATE: I have now made the recipe
with ¼ cup applesauce and ¼ cup oil for
lighter, less compact muffins or bread. This
would increase the calorie and fat content
by just a little but not much.]
