Carrot Bread

Jo Ann L's Note:

A yummy, moist bread. If you substitute applesauce for oil in baking, don't do it on this one. I tried it, and it wasn't nearly as good.

Wow! This was a big hit with our family, and I appreciated the simplicity of the recipe. Have added this one to my cookbook! I didn't have enough sugar, so used 1/2 C sugar and 1/2 C brown sugar and omitted the raisins (only because hubby doesn't like them). Still turned out fabulous.

Sweet, moist, it tastes like carrot cake! I substituted 3T of soy flour for regular flour. Skipped the walnuts. I soaked the raisins in hot water for 15 minutes before adding them to the mix.

This recipe lives up to its name...yummy and moist! Thank you for an easy, quick and wonderful carrot bread! I will be making this often as the whole family loved it.
