Healthy Homemade Carrot Cake Bread

by - 6/25/2019 12:00:00 AM


I'm a huge fan of carrot cake and it's actually one of the recipes that I've never made homemade before. I'm not really sure why. It's definitely a favorite in my home and a recipe that I look forward to making one of these days. When I'm in the mood for something I typically make it. I had everything on hand to make a carrot cake. However, I wanted to make a healthier alternative that would be perfect to enjoy in the mornings as well.  This recipe is super easy to make and is perfect for meal prep as well. Using oats flour makes this more of a bread consistency which is what I was going for. Plus, it gives it a really nice flavor. As you guys know, I'm a huge fan of all types of bread, and this carrot bread is one of my favorites.
