Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

3 egg whites

⅔ cup white sugar

¼ cup nonfat milk

⅓ cup applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon almond extract (Optional)

1 ⅓ cups whole wheat flour

⅔ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons ground flax seed

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon baking soda

⅓ cup chopped walnuts

¼ cup raisins

½ (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup grated carrot

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a 9×5 inch loaf pan with vegetable cooking spray.

Whisk together the egg whites, sugar, milk, applesauce, vanilla, and almond extract in a small bowl; mix until well blended. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and baking soda. Mix the egg into the flour; stir until well blended. Fold in the walnuts, raisins, carrot, and drained pineapple. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (but not necessarily dry), about 40 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 to 20 minutes before refrigerating overnight.
