Eggless Carrot Loaf · Andrew T.

Grating fresh carrots into a warmly spiced batter creates the foundation for this remarkably moist loaf that happens to skip the eggs entirely. The combination of baking powder and soda works in tandem to lift the crumb, whilst cinnamon weaves through each slice with gentle warmth.

Make It Your Own

You can keep the loaf simple or fold through raisins and pecans for added texture. The batter comes together quickly - just blend your wet and dry ingredients separately before marrying them into a smooth dough. Pour into a lined tin and let the oven work its magic for half an hour.

Whether you are catering to egg allergies or simply ran out, this carrot loaf proves that restriction need not mean compromise. The result is tender, fragrant, and perfectly suited to breakfast tables or coffee breaks alike.
