  3. Add 1 cup shredded carrots and 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3 large egg whites, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
