Recipe Carrot Bread with Applesauce

Two of the most important things about homemade bread is the taste and texture. If it isn’t moist and pleasantly sweet, homemade bread quickly becomes second place to store bought, unhealthy versions. The good news is that this Recipe Carrot Bread with Applesauce is ultra-tasty and super moist! It’s also loaded with fall and winter spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for that festive, cozy smell we all love. With this recipe, you’ll choose homemade each and every time.

Carrot Bread – The Perfect Make Ahead Breakfast

One of the biggest factors holding people back from eating clean is time. If we’re being transparent, clean eating does take more effort than fast food and frozen microwave meals. However, clean eating does not have to be all consuming of your time! Try taking an evening or two a week to meal prep for the next few days. After this, store recipes in the fridge or freezer for simple and quick reheating! This recipe, in particular, is a perfect make ahead meal that is delicious warmed back up!

Shortcuts for Quicker Baking

If you’re super short on time, you can even make meal prepping quicker with just a few easy tricks! Try the tips below for less time in the kitchen, and apply to recipes moving forward…

Tip #1: Steam in the Microwave: For this particular recipe, steaming the carrots prior to blending is required. Instead of taking all that time to boil water and steam the traditional way, use the microwave instead! Simply place veggies in a microwave safe glass bowl, add just enough water to cover veggies, place a paper towel on top, and heat for around 5 minutes, or until tender. Microwaving is an easy peasy, much quicker option for steaming or heating when you’re in a rush.

Tip #2: Buy Pre Packaged Plant Based Milk: While it’s rather simple to make plant based milk from home, it definitely requires more effort than buying it in store. Just be sure you’re buying a healthy brand with no emulsifiers, oils, or added sugars!

Tip #3: Crush Walnuts, Don’t Chop: Instead of chopping the walnuts in this recipe which can be quite time consuming, simply crush them instead! Place in a bowl or ziplock bag, and use the bottom of a metal measuring cup to crush the walnuts into small pieces. Voila! You’ve got ready-to-use walnuts.

Clean Bakeware

Clean eating includes much more than only ingredients, it also includes clean cook and bakeware as well! After all, what you’re cooking and baking your food often ends up in your food to some extent. Our favorite bakeware to date is Xtrema Cookware. Xtrema offers 100% ceramic cookware, and offers a wide array of selections. For all my bread recipes, I use their Loaf Pan. The heat distribution is perfect, and I love knowing I’m not adding any additional toxins to my food.
