Carrot Walnut Bread

I have named this recipe carrot and walnut bread but it is so incredibly moist and sweet it tastes more like a carrot cake. This is a healthy recipe (of course) and can easily be adapted to make a savoury loaf. Eat as is, smother with some lemon icing if you are feeling devilish or toast slightly and dip in your coffee.



I haven't used any oil or refined sugars in this recipe so it is fairly low in fat but high in protein due to the high number of eggs. It is quite easy to make and very easy to eat, I've had two slices whilst writing this.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 50 minutes
Makes:1 loaf - 13 slices

Ingredients
1 cup of dates (or raisins)
1 cup of hot water
1 1/2 cups almond flour (or oat flour or plain flour)
6 tablespoons of coconut flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of allspice
6 eggs
1/2 cup of honey
6 tablespoons of oil (I substituted with yogurt)
3 cups of grated carrot
3/4 cup of shredded coconut
1 cup of walnuts

Method


















Notes:
You can make individual muffins instead of one loaf. This recipe will make 12 muffins and only need 20 minutes to cook.

To make a savoury carrot loaf omit the honey and dates, but still add a cup of water for moisture.
