2 c. raisins
2 c. water
2 eggs, lightly beaten (you can use eggbeaters or egg whites)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. skim milk
2 c. unsweetened applesauce
3 tsp. Sweet & Low
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)
You may substitute the nuts with 1/2 cup mashed bananas for a
uniquely different flavor, if so, mix banana with the wet ingredients.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook raisins in water until all water is
absorbed, about 30 minutes. Mix all the wet ingredients in one bowl
and all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. The nuts get added to
the flour mixture then add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture. Fold
in the raisins. Bake in loaf or bundt pan for 35 to 45 minutes or until
toothpick inserted comes out clean.
