There are very fews things in the world that I hate more than being sick. I woke up yesterday feeling like poop, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, the works. I split my day between laying in bed and laying on the couch. But, on Monday I made something so amazingly yummy that I have to share it with you. I found this recipe on Tina’s blog and knew I had to make it when I read her raving about how good it is.
Pumpkin Carrot Cake Bread
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1/2 cup craisins
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the flours, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, pumpkin, brown sugar and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until evenly combined. Fold in grated carrots, craisins and walnut.
Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and pour batter into pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpicks comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy!
I couldn’t find my loaf pan so I baked it in a bundt, which also worked well. This bread is soo good. I know I will be doubling this recipe next time because it was gone in one day.
Now I’m going to crawl back into bed and hope this sickness leaves me alone soon.
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
