The Best Carrot Bread
This best Carrot bread recipe is what you dances through your dreams! Easy to make, chuck full of flavor and I bet you have most of the ingredients in your kitchen right now!
I love making dessert breads because they are so easy to make and seem to be a no fail recipe. Banana bread and lemon poppy seed bread are a few of my favorites. But then we met carrot bread. The carrots combined with the perfect spices and topped with cream cheese couldn’t be any better! My husband has always loved carrot cake, but this is just as good but less fuss.
