Carrot Almond Bread
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
2 cups shredded carrots
3 large eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup applesauce
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup milk or soy milk
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly oil or butter a 9-inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand-mixer, mix the carrots, eggs, sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla until well blended. Fold the flour mixture into the carrot mixture until just combined.
Gently stir in the almonds and milk and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted in the center of the bread comes out with moist crumbs attached - About 50-55 minutes.
