I wanted to try my hand at making this a vegan recipe. It passed the test. Our resident vegan LOVED them!
Mimi’s Cafe Carrot Raisin Nut Bread
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil or
½ c. oil +½ c. applesauce
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs or
3 T ground flax seed + 9 Tablespoons water – mix and let set while mixing other ingredients
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup diced canned pineapple, drained (I just diced up some canned tidbits)
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup finely shredded carrots
Sift first five ingredients into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar and eggs. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour; mix well. Add the next four ingredients; stir again. Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan or four mini-loaf pans (I did the 9 inch sq pan). Fill the pans 2/3 full with batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes. Mini-loaves take about 20 minutes.
I baked muffins for 20 minutes.
