Carrot Bread

Ingredients Needed

Just a handful of staple ingredients are needed (get the full amounts in the recipe below).

• Carrots – Peeled first, then grated.
• All-Purpose Flour
• Granulated Sugar
• Spices – baking soda, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
• Vegetable Oil
• Eggs – room temperature.
• Milk – use 2% or whole milk for best results.
• Vanilla Extract
• Nuts – we like chopped walnuts, but you can use any nuts (or leave them out).
• Optional: raisins.

How To Make Carrot Bread

Just a few simple steps (get the full directions in the recipe box below).

• Start by mixing the dry ingredients, minus the carrots and nuts.
• Separately, mix the wet ingredients with the carrots.
• Then, start combining the two by pouring half the flour mixture in the wet mixture and stirring completely.
• Stir in the rest of the dry ingredients and combine.
• Add in the walnuts last and stir.
• Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake for about an hour.

Depending on how thick you cut your slices, this will make about 14-16 pieces of bread.

Serve this up warm with a bit of butter or enjoy it with a warm cup of coffee. This goes from breakfast recipe to sweet treat pretty seamlessly.

Storing

• Store – you can keep this carrot bread at room temperature in an airtight container for about a week. If you want to keep it longer or make a big batch at once, you can freeze it also. Just place it in a freezer bag and be sure to use it within a month.
• Freezing – Wrap the bread in plastic and place it in a freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter when ready to use. You can also freeze the individual slices.
