Bought Too Many Carrots?

I do that.

I buy that big old 5 lb bag at Sams thinking that YES, I’ll eat carrots and ranch as a snack every day. It works for a while, but one person trying to eat 5 lbs of carrots….. well, let’s just say you get tired of them….

Make carrot bread. It’s kind of like carrot cake only without that high calorie frosting..

Try it!

Carrot Bread

1/2 butter (softened)
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
3 eggs
2 c flour
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
3 c grated carrots
1 c chopped walnuts (if you have them)

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a bread pan.

Cream the butter and sugars and beat until fluffy. Add in the eggs and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and fold in the carrots and nuts. Mix well. Pour into bread pan and bake for an hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Freezes well too!

Great as a dessert.

Great as a breakfast bread!
