Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, buttermilk, egg whites, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the raisins evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your low-fat raisin bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
