Make with no added sugar and whole-grain flour, this bread is denser and chewier than classic carrot cake, but no less delicious. Skip the traditional frosting: as moist as this dish is, you don’t need it, and as it stands, this dish is nutritious enough to work as a mini-meal any day.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups white whole-wheat flour
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. nutmeg
- 1 cup carrot, shredded
- 1 cup applesauce
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tsp. vinegar
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray an 8 inch cake pan with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
- In a separate bowl, stir together remaining ingredients except for walnuts.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine thoroughly. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then fold in walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
