Carrot Raisin Quick Bread image

Another gem I found through Cooking Light magazine. This gives a very moist and packed with flavor quick bread that is lower in calories than a cake. I like to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the bread but the original recipe does not call for them so I left it as written. It is also fun to add about a 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut for a fun twist.

Time 1h16m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup carrot, coarsely shredded
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup low-fat milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Coat an 8-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt together.
  • In a small bowl, combine carrots, brown sugar, raisins, milk, melted butter and beaten egg together.
  • Add the carrot mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until mixture is moist (over mixing will produce a dry/dense bread).
  • Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
