Here's another one (notice the WW flour.) I clipped this recipe from
the newspaper a few years ago:


Raisin Applesauce Snack Cake

1 C whole-wheat flour
1 C unbleached AP flour
1 C sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1/4 C canola oil
1 1/3 C unsweetened applesauce
1 C raisins

Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking
spray and set aside.

Combine flours, sugar, spices, soda, and salt. In separate bowl,
combine the vanilla, egg, oil, and applesauce and mix well. Add the
applesauce mixture to the dry mixture all at once and beat at medium
speed to combine. Stir in the raisins. Pour the batter into prepared
pan and smooth the top. Bake in the center of oven for 30 minutes, or
until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool
in the pan; cut into 1 x 1 1/2 inch bars. Makes 36.
