Instructions

Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 1/2” x 4 1/2” loaf pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Set aside.

  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the baking sugar alternative, milk, oil, and eggs until smooth.

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined.

  5. Stir in the carrots, walnuts, and coconut.

  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

  7. Bake the bread for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent the loaf with aluminum foil after 35 minutes to prevent over-browning.

  8. Remove the bread from the oven and cool it in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a rack to cool completely.

  9. Store the bread at room temperature, well wrapped, for several days; freeze for longer storage.
