Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb (about 2 pounds)
- 1 cup Splenda, No Calorie Sweetener, Granular
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 whole large egg
- 3/4 cup skim milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray two small loaf pans (4″ × 8″) with nonstick cooking spray. Combine rhubarb, Splenda, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. In a small bowl, combine vanilla, applesauce, canola oil, egg, and milk and whisk to blend. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until just combined. Pour into prepared loaf pans and bake about 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake-tester comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from pans. For serving, cut each loaf into 10 slices.
