This is a low fat version of Zucchini Bread - if you like using less oil, this is a good recipe to try.

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup pourable Sugar Twin (I use sugar)
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. apple pie spice
1/4 cup (1 oz.) chopped walnuts
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. raisins
1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (I use 3/4 - 1 cup)
1 egg or equivalent in egg substitute
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, & apple pie spice. Stir in walnuts, raisins, and zucchini. In a small bowl, combine applesauce, egg and vanilla extract. Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture. Mix just until combined. Evenly spread batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Place loaf pan on a wire rack and let set for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan and continue cooling on wire rack. Cut in 8 thick or 16 thin slices.

Serves 8 (1 thick or 2 thin slices)
