Carrot Loaf

November 28, 2011 by Shelley

Carrot Loaf

I figured he might tired of the ‘usual’ zucchini/pumpkin/and whatever else it is I usually make that I can’t think of right now. This recipe appealed because of the finely grated carrots. I might have baked it a bit too long, but it reheats well and had a fine grain. As usual, I substitute the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger with one of my homemade mixture of spices. I mix up small batches and use up quickly. They mimic pumpkin spice, but reach toward a sweet garam masala sensibility. That’s what the special spice grinder is for. Every kitchen should have one. My carrot loaf looked like the photo, really!

Mmm, this Carrot Loaf is so spicy good!  The tender, moist quick bread is so easy to make and smells incredible while it bakes.  I left mine plain, but you can add nuts and/or raisins if you’d like.
