This is a great healthy snack. It’s sugar free, egg free, and dairy free. Read on…

Two of our family are taking a break from sugar at the moment, and another can’t do dairy and eggs. This means it’s time to develop a new recipe, and Fall is a great time of year to try this one.

Carrot Spice Bread:

Makes 2 loaves.

2 cups all purpose flour

2 cups whole wheat, spelt, or your flour choice

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cloves

2 cups finely shredded carrot

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups orange juice

1/3 cup oil

Mix all dry ingredients. Mix all wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet to the dry. Mix well. Pour into greased bread pan. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes or until the center tests clean.

Cool on wire racks.

* Note: You could also make this in cake form if desired. Just cook in two greased and floured cake pans instead. I also sometimes make it in a 9×12 casserole as well. And if you aren’t avoiding caloric sweeteners all together like we are, add 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup to make it that much better.

This bread is just slightly sweet so it’s a great snack any time.

And stayed tuned for the sourdough version in a couple of weeks.
