Carrot Raisin Bread

carrot bread

Carrots are a vegetable staple full of nutrition and color. A carrot quick bread can be made any time of year, and is a welcome variation from our beloved banana bread. I love to make quick breads for breakfast and snaking.  They also make perfect gifts for the holidays or any occasion.  This was my final result for my carrot raisin bread.  I came upon the idea after having the carrot, raisin, and walnut bread at Mimi’s Cafe. I tried several recipes, before just creating my own.  This carrot bread has a rich beautiful color and is very moist. Roasted walnuts would have also been a great addition, but I decided to just go with raisins on this loaf.
