3 Ingredient Carrot Bread

This carrot bread is soft,moist and chewy. The bread is very easy to make and only needs 3 ingredients. The bread doesn’t need any eggs,butter or oil. You can also easily customize the bread with more spices and mix-ins.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover carrots. What I especially love about this carrot bread is that it really is a bread. It is not just a sweet carrot cake baked in a loaf pan. The bread has a texture more like traditional bread rather than cake. It is lightly sweetened and packed with carrots and cinnamon flavor.

Ingredients

• Carrots
• Self-rising flour
• cinnamon applesauce

carrot : The recipe use freshly grated or shred carrot . I is prefer prefer to thinly shred the carrot so that they blend in well with the finish bread but you could also use grated carrot if you prefer . The carrots is add add carrot flavor and a lot of moisture to the bread .

Self-rising flour: Self-rising flour is flour that already has baking powder and salt added to it. I use self-rising flour a lot because it saves me a few extra steps and time. If you don’t have self-rising flour,you can make your own with all purpose flour,baking powder and salt.

cinnamon applesauce: The bread uses applesauce in place of eggs and oil to add moisture and create the bread structure. I used sweeten cinnamon applesauce but if you want to make the bread a little healthier you can use unsweetened. Using sweetened applesauce will only lightly sweeten the bread. I also used cinnamon applesauce because it adds a lot of cinnamon flavor to the bread. You don’t really taste the applesauce in the bread. The cinnamon and carrots help cover up any applesauce flavor.

How to Make Carrot Bread

The self-rising flour and applesauce are first mixed together until a wet dough forms. The carrots are then folded in. The bread is then ready to be poured into a loaf pan and baked.
