I've never had carrot bread before but this stuff is yummy. I even used the carrots that came out of my own garden.
See?!
The recipe was found on cooks.com. Here it is:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups finely grated raw carrots
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Beat eggs and add sugar and oil. Sift together flour, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and add to egg mixture. Beat well. Add carrots, nuts and raisins. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and pour in batter. Bake one hour.
I think it could probably have used a full cup of raisins and I ended up baking it for 70 minutes instead of 60. I have made this recipe a second time and I'm almost ready for a third. This most recent time, I made them into muffins. The perfect size and the outside wasn't too crusty. I baked them for about 20 minutes but check yours with a toothpick until it comes out clean. I still like slicing this and having it toasted with butter. Oh and I substituted apple sauce for the oil on the second round and they were still just as yummy! My next round will be in mini loaf pans. Anyway you have it though, it's a hit! I can't wait to have a slice of this toasted with some cream cheese. Mmm.
