Carrot Bread with Cream Cheese


I had a few lonely carrots left over in the garden, and I wanted to make something with them in the spirit of not wasteing. It's been a goal to waste the least amount of produce from my garden this year. I'm doing my best to use, give away, or freeze whatever the garden gives me. So' with that in mind I needed to find a home for my carrots. I was going to make carrot muffins, but I forgot muffin pan liners at the store. So here is Carrot Bread!


2 cups grated carrots

1/2 cup walnuts

1cup light brown sugar

11/2 cup flour

1/2 baking powder

2teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoon sugar

2/3 veg oil

2teaspoons vanilla

2 large eggs

-mix dry ingredients. Mix wet wet ingredients. Mix both together. Stir in carrots and walnuts. put in a greased bread pan.

Cream cheese topping: Mix 1/3 cup sugar, 1 package cream cheese, 1 egg.


Top bread with half the cream cheese mixture(I made a small cheese cake with the left over mixture)


Bake at 350 for 55 min

cool in pan 10 min
