Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ⅔ cup cane sugar white sugar may be used
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 egg beaten
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups carrot shredded
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- butter for serving
- honey for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a large bowl. (Note: when sifting whole wheat flour a bit of bran will not pass through the sifter. Add that back to the bowl after sifting). Add the sugar and stir to blend.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, canola oil, and milk.
- Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Fold in the carrots and pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for approximately 1 hour or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool slightly. Remove from pan.
- Serve slices of warm bread with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. Store bread tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. Reheat slices in the microwave before serving.
