Carrot Bread with Coconut flakes, Walnuts and Raisins

Packed with toasted walnuts, fresh carrots, coconut, and raisins, this bread taste just like the classic carrot cake, and the best part is that it is customizable!

Receta en Espanol.

Hands down, this is my favorite recipe for carrot bread; It is fool-proof, it requires minimal preparation, and it is super delicious. Remember, I also said it is customizable…because it is! Most of the ingredients can be substituted for others, and it will still come out moist and tasty. For example, an ingredient this recipe calls for is sour cream, but plain yogurt or buttermilk will work perfectly fine.  If carrots are not your favorite, try fresh zucchini for delicious zucchini bread; bananas are also good choices or even fresh apples.

 

The ingredients:

Carrots: All you need is one medium shredded carrot (about 1 cup)

Dry mix-ins: Whether it is shredded coconut, walnuts, or any other dry mix-ins, choose up to 1 cup altogether. (see the recipe for amounts I used of each)

Dry ingredients: I used all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, half teaspoon of each, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Wet Ingredients: Eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extra, sour cream (plain yogurt or buttermilk will work as well).

Optional: Citrus zest

Here is the recipe.
