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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, buttermilk, egg whites, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.
