Notes
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use extra cinnamon or even apple pie spice.
- Carrots should be shredded using the coarse side of a cheese grater. They can be peeled or if you scrub them, you can skip peeling them.
- Do not overmix the batter, stir just until combined.
- Use parchment paper to line the bottoms of the loaf pan to make it easy to remove.
- Ovens can vary slightly, check the bread at least 10 minutes before you think it will be done.
- This bread is easier to slice when completely cooled.
