ohhhhhhhhhh sooooooooo GOOD
WOW, I cant say enough....even tho i made serious changes too this recipe, it was FANTASTIC. I used fresh carrots saved the h2o they boiled in. 3eggs whites instead of whole eggs, applesauce instead of oil, and slenda instead of regular sugar. I used the applesauce and egg whites to reduce the fat even further because i wanted to beable to put the NUTs in the bread. I was a bit heavy but still very tasty and filling. i did not bake in a loaf pan, i did it in a cake pan. everyone who tasted it, LOVED IT. give it a shot, you wont be disappointed.
