Carrot Bread

Moist, gently spiced, and naturally sweet—this carrot bread is like carrot cake’s healthier, everyday cousin. Perfect with tea, coffee, or even as a quick breakfast!

Origin Carrot Bread

Inspired by classic carrot cake, carrot bread blends the goodness of shredded carrots with warm spices. It’s popular in American and European baking traditions as a wholesome quick bread.

What I Love About This Recipe

It’s soft, flavorful, and packed with moisture from the carrots. I love how it feels like a treat but uses simple ingredients—and you can dress it up with nuts, raisins, or even a cream cheese glaze!
