CARROT RAISIN QUICK BREAD



Carrot Raisin Quick Bread image

Another gem I found through Cooking Light magazine. This gives a very moist and packed with flavor quick bread that is lower in calories than a cake. I like to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the bread but the original recipe does not call for them so I left it as written. It is also fun to add about a 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut for a fun twist.

Tips:

  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Use accurate measuring tools to ensure precise ingredient ratios and consistent results.
  • Grate Carrots Finely: Finely grated carrots evenly distribute moisture and sweetness throughout the bread.

  • Bake Correctly: Preheat the oven properly and bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This helps the flavors meld and the texture set.
