Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.

Step 3

Whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl until well combined; set aside.

Step 4

Beat applesauce, oil, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in flour mixture, zucchini, cranberries, walnuts, and carrots until no dry spots remain. Divide batter between the two prepared loaf pans.
