Instructions
Mix oil, applesauce, water, sugar, Splenda, zucchini and All-Bran. Let sit for 10 minutes to let All-Bran soften. Mix in eggs. Add flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and raisins. Mix until just combined.
Bake in a greased loaf pan at 325 for 30 to 45 minutes. Bread is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Bread will nicely fill a small (8”x 4”) loaf pan. To fill a large loaf pan (9” x 5” which seems to be the size sold most often in the US), make 1-1/2 times the recipe and bake for about an hour.
Notes
Bread can be baked in an Omnia Stove Top Oven for the same amount of time. See how to use an Omnia here.
