3. In a food processor, combine the egg and egg whites until frothy, 30 seconds. With the machine running, gradually drizzle in the oil; process 10 seconds longer. Add 3/4 cup of the applesauce and the carrots; process until smooth. Add the flour mixture; pulse 2 times to blend. Add the currants; pulse 4 times to chop.
