Introduction

I adapted these from an amazing recipe on here called Healthy Carrot Cake. I substituted wholemeal flour for Allinson's wholemeal seed and grain, added a carrot, and substituted some of the brown sugar with Splenda to make it just a little more healthy. I also topped with a low fat icing and included in calorie count. Yum! I adapted these from an amazing recipe on here called Healthy Carrot Cake.

    1 jar ( 280 g ) applesauce ( very limited for choice in the UK )
    1 cup 2% milk
    2 tbsp baking powder
    2.5 cups Allinson's wholemeal seed and grain flour

    Icing:
    250g extra light cream cheese
    150g half fat sour cream

Combine egg whites, apple sauce, milk, sugar, Splenda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Then stir in flour and baking soda. Last, add carrots and walnuts. Bake at 175C for 20-30 minutes or until you can poke with a clean fork.
