  1. I used carrot pulp from my juicer and it worked great.
     
  2. This is just "EXCELLENT"!! Its got a perfect deep red-brown colour and tastes "YUMMMMMY"!!
     
  3. The batter was very thick and I was worried, but when it was done, it was very moist and flavorful. I too baked it at 350 degrees, but for 45 minutes. Next time I am going to try less sugar because it was a little too sweet. Thanks for the great recipe!
     
  4. I thought this carrot bread was just okay. I cut the sugar to a total of 3/4 cup and did not include the optional raisins. I thought the flavor could have been better. The texture was very good though and this recipe was easy to follow and relatively quick - the only time consuming part is shredding the carrots.
     
  5. We really enjoyed this loaf, though we made a few modifications. We used only 1/4 cup of brown and a 1/4 cup of white sugar, as per some of the recommendations, and we reduced the oil to 1/3 of a cup. Next time we will increase the cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons and add 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. We baked it for 45 minutes at 350 F. Thanks for posting such a versatile recipe!

  1. This was a really easy recipe to follow. I made carrot juice and kept the pulp from my juice machine and used that for the grated carrots. I also used less than 1/4 cup brown sugar instead of the cup. I left out the raisins and baked it in the oven, 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Maybe a bit longer. This bread was more of a pudding/cake. The taste was light and perfect sweetness. A nice spongy texture, moist and great alone or served warm with ice cream or a nice cold glass of milk! It was addicting and i had to hide it....FROM MYSELF!! This will DEFINATELY be my all time Carrot bread recipe!!
