With Easter less than a week away, I keep seeing TONS of delicious carrot cake pictures and recipes posted, but of course, none of them are healthy. So I decided I would make my own Paleo Carrot “Cake” Bread. I say bread because it is denser and I intended it to be more for breakfast, however, it is just as delicious as cake! Im all about finding ways to fit extra veggies into my diet, and this was a success on the first try! This Paleo loaf is perfect for Easter when you may be craving all the sweets and treats.
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour or collagen/grass fed protein
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 TB coconut oil melted
- 1 TB Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3 large carrots grated
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- stevia or maple syrup to taste
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
Instructions:

- Whisk together all the dry ingredients ( Almond flour, Coconut flour, shredded coconut, seasonings)
- In separate bowl mix the wet ingredients (eggs, ACV, coconut oil, vanilla)

- Stir in carrots and walnuts with a spatula
- Pour into loaf pan and pop into oven for 40-50 minutes, when a toothpick comes out clean
- Once cooled, melt 1/4 cup coconut butter and top it like icing! Enjoy!
