Carrot Bread

I just pulled out a hot, fresh loaf of carrot bread.  Oh, how sweet the air smells!  The aroma of nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon and cloves is filling our home, making it warm.  The recipe is calls for 25 min. in the oven.  It took me more like 35min.  The result is pure perfection.  Highly recommended.  The crunchy walnuts add a nice bite to the bread, while the carrots remind you that vegetables can still be a part of baking. 

Ingredients:

1 t butter, or butter substitute
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t ground cloves
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t allspice
1/4 t salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, lighltly beaten, or egg replacer
2 cups grated carrots
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped (optional)

So, this recipe could be made vegan or vegetarian (minus the eggs). 
Let's just say, it only lasted less than an hour on the cutting board because little fingers were devouring it.  Yummy!
