$\"carrot$

free of gluten and top 8 allergens<\/p><\/div>\n

Super moist thanks to the combination of applesauce, shredded carrots and zucchini, this loaf is perfectly sweet and full of flavor.<\/p>\n

Enjoy our carrot zucchini bread plain, glazed, or even with chocolate chips. It’s great for breakfast or dessert.<\/p>\n

Going beyond banana bread…<\/p>\n

$\"How$

mise en place<\/p><\/div>\n

We made several batches of this bread before finalizing the recipe. One batch included mashed ripe bananas, which was good. However, it wasn’t a game changer for this loaf…and waiting for that banana to be the perfect ripeness takes time.<\/p>\n

So for the last and final batch, our banana was not ripe enough, so we skipped it.<\/p>\n

batter up<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve added golden raisins to the batter. But here’s where you can add what you like.<\/p>\n

If nuts are not an issue, feel free to add 1\/2 cup chopped walnuts. How about chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life Mini Chips? Now we’re talking!<\/p>\n

Other options are shredded coconut and dried fruits.<\/p>\n

We greased and lined our loaf pan with a strip of parchment paper. The parchment paper can be omitted, but this makes removing the loaf a breeze.<\/p>\n

$\"gluten$ <\/p>\n

To glaze or not to glaze?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is totally up to you. We love glazing!<\/p>\n

We also love plain. And plain does mean less sugar.<\/p>\n

So if you’re in a hurry to enjoy this bread, skip the glazing and dig right in.<\/p>\n

Chef Mary’s Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a grain free version, substitute 1-1\/4 cups cassava flour for the 1-3\/4 cups gluten-free flour. Even though cassava flour is lighter, it does absorb more liquid. With this in mind, you need slightly less cassava flour than gluten-free or whole wheat flour.<\/p>\n

The baking time is normally longer when using cassava flour as products have a tendency to bake faster on the outside while the inside may still be slightly doughy.<\/p>\n

We made a loaf substituting Otto’s Cassava Flour for the gluten-free flour that was perfect! The beauty of cassava flour is that it’s not gritty, as sometimes gluten-free blends lend to grittiness.<\/p>\n
