Ingredients

1 cup finely grated carrots
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup melted and cooled coconut oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups (180 grams) whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup quick oats
2 tsp. apple pie spice ((sub pumpkin pie spice))
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

Method

1
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, combine carrots, applesauce, eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla; stir with a whisk until combined.
3
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, apple pie spice, ginger, baking soda, and salt; stir to combine. Add dry ingredients to the bowl with wet ingredients and stir until JUST combined (do not over-mix).
4
Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and sprinkle walnuts overtop. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. (If you're using a 9x5 inch pan, check the bread closer to 40-45 minutes.) Transfer pan to a cooling rack and let cool for 30 minutes. Remove bread from pan and let cool completely before slicing into.
