A delightful and lightly sweet treat to have with your morning cup of coffee, pre-workout, or a hot cup of tea as an afternoon snack. I used the ingredients I had on hand to make this cakebread yesterday afternoon, and whenever I throw something together such as this I am always a bit nervous for the result. A happy result would be one ending with a good texture, nice consistency, and not too high in calories per serving, and this cakebread was just that... Thankfully!

| One loaf sliced in half. |
The Recipe:
3c. Cake Flour (you could substitute oat, or another flour of your liking)
2tsp. Baking soda
1tsp. Baking powder
4tbsp. Cocoa powder
3 Eggs
21/2c. Shredded zucchini
1c. Shredded carrots
1c. Natural apple sauce
3tbsp. (1/4c.) Coconut oil (melted)
1c. Raisins
4 Packets of Truvia (optional)
Pre-heat oven to 350'.
Mix all the wet ingredients together.
In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Spray two loaf pans with cooking spray.
Pour equal amounts of batter into each pan.
Bake for 35-45 minutes (Oven cook times may vary).
Let cool in pans for 15min.
Run a rubber spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cakebread. And transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
*If you would like to sweeten this recipe up a bit, you may add chocolate chips to the batter or
drizzle with a glaze once cooled.
Makes 24 slices.

| I prefer coconut oil to butter or vegetable for its alkalizing properties. |
 |
| Two loaf pans, yet you can just use one if you'd like a larger size loaf (this would increase the calories per slice). |
