Carrot Bread

"I haven't made this carrot bread recipe yet but will be making it soon. Recipe was printed in local newspaper and has been adjusted to high altitude baking. For baking at sea level, baking powder and soda have to be increased to at least 1 1/2 teaspoons each and baking temperature and time may also need to be adjusted."

  1. oh my! my whole house smelled so wonderful while this was baking, and for the rest of the evening! i added some freshly grated nutmeg but otherwise followed the recipe, which produced 2 wonderful loaves. this is a keeper!
     
  2. Very nice, moist breakfast bread. I substituted applesauce for 3/4 of the oil, and soy protein powder for 1/2 the flour for a healthier alternative, and it turned out great. I also added some extra spices (1/2 tsp. each of nutmeg, cloves and cardamom) as well as raisins, walnuts, and finely chopped candied ginger. Delicious!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
