Hearty Carrot Loaf

How to make it

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small microwave-safe dish or ramekin.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the carrot mixture. Stir until just combined. Don't overmix.
4. If desired, fold in optional add-ins such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut.
5. Pour the batter into the greased dish or ramekin.
6. Microwave on medium-high for about 2-3 minutes or until the carrot loaf is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the carrot loaf to cool slightly before enjoying.
8. Slice and serve the carrot loaf warm.
