Chocolate Chip Carrot Bread Recipe

Still with the carrot theme, I also made carrot loaf. It is very moist and delicious. I may have added a touch too much cinnamon! I modified a recipe in my cookbook called "Taste of Home Winning Recipes".

 

This is my version of

Chocolate Chip Carrot Bread

In a large bowl, combine:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

shake of ground cloves

In a small bowl, beat:

3 eggs

1 cup orange juice

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp. vanilla

Stir the wet ingredients in with the dry. Fold in:

2 cups grated carrots

1 cup chocolate chips

 

Transfer to two greased 8 x 4 x 2" loaf pans. Bake at 350degrees F for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near centre comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack.

 

The children and I all enjoyed it. Hope you can too! I've tried this recipe before as muffins and that also worked well. It made 22 beautiful muffins. I baked them at 400 for 16-18 minutes.
