Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Generously grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and baking powder until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until light and frothy. Gradually add the brown sugar, beating until well combined. Stir in the grated zucchini, carrots, applesauce, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated. Gently fold in the plumped raisins and toasted pecans. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring just until the batter is blended—avoid overmixing. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. (1 hour 20 minutes)

06

Step

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For an enhanced flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the mixture. To prevent the top from over-browning, tent the loaf with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Consider adding a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
