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.
Tips
- Shred the Carrots – either buy pre-shredded carrots at the store of shred them yourself. Start by washing and peeling the carrots. Then use the side of a box grater or a food processor.
- Additions – consider adding in some pineapple or even shredded zucchini!
