Favorite Recipe: Carrot Pecan Bread

One of my dear friends from Fredericksburg sent this recipe to me and it was so delicious, I made it twice within a week. My husband loves it, my children "wove 'can bread" and I like it too!

Carrot Pecan Bread


2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup apple juice
2 cups shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 loaf pans with cooking spray.


In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.
In another bowl, beat eggs well, then add oil, apple juice and milk.
Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and stir until all are moistened.
Fold in shredded carrots and nuts.
Pour in to loaf mans and bake for 45 minutes. Check to be sure it is done.
Cool for 5 minutes before turning out of pans onto cooling rack.


(I left mine in the pans and just covered it with plastic wrap...)
