Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese softened
- 1-3 tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line the bottom of a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, eggs, oil, yogurt, coconut, raisins and vanilla. Stir until combined. 1 cup shredded carrots, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup golden raisins, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and nutmeg. 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 58-62 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread. When the toothpick comes out crumb-free, the bread is done.
- Let the bread cool for 5 minutes in the pan, run a knife along the edges and remove from the pan. Remove the parchment paper, and let cool on a cooling rack.
- Stir together the powdered sugar, cream cheese and milk to create a glaze. Drizzle over the top of the warm bread. Slice and serve. 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoon cream cheese, 1-3 tablespoons whole milk
