Grain-Free Carrot Spice Bread

IMG_3357
I was prompted to make this grain-free carrot spice bread the other day as a way to de-stress and take some much needed downtime. I was also in dire need to stand for a while, as I had been at the coffee shop studying and sitting for 2-3 hours and all my body wanted to do afterward is stand and move. I figured, why not make some carrot spice bread? It seemed like a logical and tasty solution.

This bread came out moist, flavorful and subtly sweet, just the way I like it. It also made the whole house smell comfy and cozy because of the warm spices, so I got the added bonus of aromatherapy. It was just what I needed.

Enjoy!

Grain-Free Carrot Spice Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup grass-fed butter, melted
  • 4 pastured eggs, beaten
  • 2-3 Tbsp raw honey
  • 1 Tbsp full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan with butter or coconut oil. I usedย this loaf pan, which is a medium size.
  2. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into the greased loaf pan and place in preheated oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool in pan for about 5 minutes or so, and then carefully remove and place on cooling rack. Let loaf cool for 10-15 minutes more before slicing.

Yields: 1 loaf

      Awesome! That sounds like a virtual high-five right there! The bread would be great as a “birthday cake!” You could even drizzle some coconut butter on top as icing ๐Ÿ˜‰

    These sound delicious! I am always looking for a nut-free baked good option!

      I always prefer nut-free baked goods too. I don’t like to bake with almond flour since it essentially oxidizes the oils.

    I’m with you on having sweet treats around only once in awhile. Since going “mostly” paleo and giving up ice cream and the like, I don’t mind when the hubby buys it since I don’t want it anymore. However, when I know it’s “paleo” approved, it’s hard to resist. I made really tasty fresh raspberry muffins a couple of weekends ago…oh boy, I ate WAY too many. Next time, I’ll be baking and freezing most of them.
    Happy wedding planning, getting close for you!

      Yep, exactly…it’s very hard to resist and I can’t stop at one or even two! It’s better when I have other people to share it with, so this doesn’t happen.
      Thanks for the wedding wishes! Things are coming along well. One thing I still needed, but took care of today was my bouquet. I got a smaller bridesmaid size one and it’s going to be gorgeous!

      Yep, a throwback to 2013! Oddly enough, I haven’t made this recipe since. It’s really, REALLY delicious, but I very rarely make stuff like this. It’s too dangerous and addictive! I’m better off if I have people to share it with.
