MIMI'S CAFE CARROT BREAD - ORIGINAL RECIPE



Mimi's Cafe Carrot Bread - Original Recipe image

This recipe is great. It makes a very light (not compact) carrot bread/cake and is so simple to make!! I substituted light muscovado sugar for the brown sugar and cake was darker than usual but just as yummy.

MIMI'S CAFE CARROT RAISIN BREAD

Found this recipe on a Sacramento paper's website and it is delish! Differs from the other recipe posted on this site. I've never been to Mimi's Cafe but if this bread is any indication it must be a special place. This is sweet, moist and dense without being too dense - perfect carrot bread in my opinion!

CARROT-RAISIN BREAD (HEALTHIER VERSION OF MIMI'S)



Carrot-Raisin Bread (Healthier Version of Mimi's) image

I based this on one of the Mimi's Carrot-Raisin Bread recipes I found. However, I have made several substitutions that greatly reduced the calories, lowered the fat and increased the fiber, and put it in muffin pans. While this no longer tastes much like Mimi's, it is yummy and doesn't taste like "health food". Replacing oil with mashed banana gives this a hint of banana bread flavor.

Tips:

  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough and dense.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
