1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Combine both sugars, eggs, applesauce, vanilla, and grated carrots. Beat until blended. Add flour, salt, powder, soda, and cinnamon. Beat until blended. Stir in raisins. Bake for one hour in two loaf pans.

The original recipe calls for oil, but I use applesauce instead because it works just as well in this recipe and cuts the fat content way down without affecting the taste. This was originally a zucchini bread recipe, but this time of year, carrots are easier to come by.

And it's ZOMG delish.

I use applesauce instead of oil in baking, and it works just as well in cakes and muffins. Your recipe sounds yummy.

I'm trying out this recipe right now. I didn't have two loaf pans, so I ended up splitting the batter into one twelve-cup muffin pan and one loaf pan. Clearly, the muffins will cook for less time -- I'm looking at, say, twenty to twenty-five minutes all told.

The batter tastes GREAT. (Though I did modify your recipe slightly and added a teaspoon of nutmeg and a half-teaspoon of cloves.)
