Carrot Bread Recipe

milk (114 grams)

vegetable oil (50 grams)

plain Greek yogurt (57 grams)

eggs (150 grams)

pure vanilla extract (4 grams)

brown sugar (213 grams)

all-purpose flour (240 grams)

baking soda (12 grams)

cinnamon (5 grams)

nutmeg

carrots

cream cheese (85 grams, room temperature)

unsalted butter (14 grams, room temperature)

sugar (57 grams)

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (2 grams)

Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Whisk

In a large bowl, whisk the milk, oil, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla together. Once smooth, add the brown sugar and stir to combine.

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg together.

Sprinkle

Place the shredded carrots in a small bowl. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the dry mix over the carrots - this ensures the carrots distribute evenly throughout the loaf.

Fold

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Gently fold in the shredded carrots.

Pour

Bake

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack and let cool completely.

For the Carrot Bread

Once the carrot bread is cool, mix the softened cream cheese and butter together in a microwave safe bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.

Heat

Microwave the glaze for 30 seconds. Stir well.

Serve

Pour it over the cooled carrot loaf and enjoy.

For the Cream Cheese Glaze

This carrot cake loaf is so easy to make with few ingredients.  You’ll love this carrot cake that is soft and moist!

Carrot Cake Loaf Recipe

190 g (1 cup and 5 tablespoons) all-purpose flour

cinnamon

nutmeg*

salt, (optional)

baking powder

eggs, (room temperature)

155 g(3/4 cup) granulated sugar

olive oil

vanilla extract*

60 g (1/2 cup) walnuts, (roughly cut into small pieces)

Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C).  Grease 8 1/2 * 4 1/2 inch (21,5*10,5cm) loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, about 2 inches(5 cm) of overhang on each side.  If you like, you can grease and flour the dish instead of parchment paper.

Place the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder (and salt if using) into a medium bowl and mix.  Set aside.

Roughly chop the walnuts into small pieces with a sharp knife, set aside.

Peel and grate the carrots, set aside.

Put the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and mix with a whisk until just combined for almost 45 seconds.

Mix in the olive oil and vanilla extract, stir with a whisk until just combined.

Add the flour mixture in 2 batches and stir until just combined.  You can use a whisk in the first batch but it will be easier to use a spoon/spatula in the end to mix easily.

Add the carrots and stir with a spoon/spatula.  Mix in the walnuts.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan with the help of a spoon. 

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean that is inserted in the center and the top is golden brown. After you remove the pan from the oven, leave in the pan until it cools completely, at least for 1 hour. 

Made this today and it came out great.  I followed the recipe with everything except I used canola oil instead of olive oil.  You are right about not over baking.  I checked it at 50 minutes, not quite done and 55 minutes was probably two minutes too much but it still tasted great.  I’m keeping this recipe!  So easy.  I would have uploaded a picture but don’t see a prompt to do so.

2nd time I've made this. It's a perfect fall recipe. Family loves it.

I was a bit skeptical at first because it was such a simple recipe but man oh man was I wrong! So yummy! So easy!

Just had some fuzzy carrots in the fridge and had to use them in this wonderful delicious, scrumptious cake.  Light, airy, flavourful, yummy!

Very tasty carrot 🥕 cake 🎂 type loaf 🍞. Just what I needed to use up some carrots and make dessert!

Made this today to use up carrots.  It was very good and will make again. I had no walnuts, so used raisins.

I’ve been looking for a healthy recipe for Carrot Bread., Your recipe for Healthy Carrot Bread looks very healthy. I’m anxious to try it.,

Question,
I prefer not to use yogurt. Do you have any substitute suggestions, Like maybe apple sauce,

Thanks

This turned out great! I replaced the applesauce with silken tofu because I had some in hand. I used einkorn flour and added dried cranberries and walnuts. So wholesome and yummy!!
