INGREDIENTS

2 eggs

3/4 cup applesauce

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

1 cup grated carrot

2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups coconut flour blend, sifted

1 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, applesauce, honey and coconut oil or butter. Whisk thoroughly until the honey is incorporated. Add the vanilla, poppy seeds and grated carrot and mix to combine.

In a separate small bowl combine the cinnamon, salt, coconut flour, baking powder and baking soda. Whisk to combine. Add the dry mixture to the wet and fold together until just incorporated. Add the nuts if using and stir to combine.

Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the loaf comes out clean. Let cool completely before turning the loaf out of the pan. Slice and serve with good butter and your favorite jam.
