Carrot-Raisin Bread

This tasty bread is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, thanks to the small amount of oil and eggs used.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1-1/2 cup carrots, finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Lightly oil 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Stir together dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. Make a well in center of dry mixture.
  3. In separate bowl, mix together remaining ingredients; add this mixture all at once to dry ingredients. Stir just enough to moisten and evenly distribute carrots.
