1 1/2 c. brown sugar 2 T. canola oil
2 T. applesauce
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. skim milk
1 1/2 c. diced rhubarb
1/2 c. chopped almonds
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray 2 small loaf pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, oil, applesauce, egg and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Stir the milk, rhubarb and nuts into the batter.
In another bowl, sift the remaining ingredients together. Add this mixture all at once into the rhubarb mixture and stir until all of the ingredients are moistened.
