It’s a cold and wintry day (and actually snowy) here in new york. I was digging through some old community cookbooks my grandma-in-law gave me and found a recipe for carrot nut bread. It sounded delicious and warm, perfect for a blistery day where all you want to do is stay inside and keep warm. Aside from having to grate the carrots it’s pretty easy.
I decided to make two mini loaves because I don’t have a big loaf pan. The result is a nice crispy crust with a moist inside. It’s just the perfect amount of sweet and spice to have as an after dinner snack or for your breakfast in the morning.
Carrot Nut Bread
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup cooking oil (I ran out so I used, 1/4 cup oil + 1/3 cup melted butter)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cup sifted flour
1 cup grated raw carrots
1. Combine eggs, sugar and oil in a large mixing bowl and beat well
2. Sift flour with soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add to sugar mixture.
3. Add carrots and nuts and mix well.
4. Pour into 9x5x3 inch loaf pan, or two 5.75×3.25 mini loaf pans.
5. Bake at 350º for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
