Ingredients
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.
1 1/2 c. white whole-wheat flour
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 c. carrot, shredded
1 c. applesauce
1/3 c. olive oil
2 t. vinegar
2 t. vanilla extract
1 c. walnuts, chopped
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8 in. cake pan with cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together remaining ingredients except for walnuts.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine thoroughly. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then fold in walnuts.
5. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
