This is my favorite recipe for carrot zucchini bread, we just made this again two days ago and I knew I had to share it.  I am always trying to make anything healthier, especially if it already contains sugar.  One of the reasons this bread is great is because there is no oil used at all.  Vegetable oil for this recipe would normally be about a cup, which would amount to nearly 2,000 calories and 220 grams of fat!  Apple sauce is an amazing substitute for oil while baking, saving calories and fat.

The next item we switch for a healthier version is whole wheat flour, while whole wheat flour and regular flower have the same calories the whole wheat is much better for you.  During the process of making white flour most of the nutrients and fiber naturally found in flour are lost.  Sometimes the nutrients are added back into white flour but not in its natural form, which is another reason white flour is so over processed. Below are the ingredients and directions to our delicious Carrot Zucchini Bread, enjoy!
