3/4 teaspoon cloves
3/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup applesauce (I use unsweetened)

3. Whisk applesauce, milk, and vanilla in medium bowl to combine. Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients; stir until just combined.
4. Stir in rutabaga, zucchini, and walnuts.
5. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
Let cool slightly and serve warm, with banana “ice cream”, or cold from fridge.'
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I do not like soy milk so I used almond milk, I also added 1 egg to the batter, it took a little longer to bake but not much. This is very good and a great way to get some veggies. :)
Ok, I got to try this! Any dessert that can sneak in a side of veggies is fine by me. I'll let you know how it turns out for me.
