Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a standard loaf pan with a little bit of coconut oil and briefly set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk the carrots, apple, egg, egg white, yogurt and maple syrup and coconut oil until very well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
Step 4
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the raisins and walnuts.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, and smooth the top with a spatula. (The batter will be pretty thick.) I like to sprinkle a few extra chopped walnuts and raisins on top, but that’s completely optional.
Step 6
Bake for 50-55 minutes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. (Be careful not to overbake! You want to keep things moist.)
Step 7
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Slice and serve!
