Ok made this bread but discovered no carrots in fridge at the last minute. Sooooo... made without the carrots. Sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top before baking loaf. Yummy & super moist. Can only imagine how moist with the added carrots. (No nuts either) remember to sift the flour ingredients together before mixing with creamer ingredients. Super soft that way!

Just baked this a few hours back. I replaced 1/3 cup of oil with 1/3 cup applesauce, reduced the sugar to 50g, used 2 medium banana, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and used raisins in placed of pecans. Baked for 60mins and the bread is soft and adequately moist. Can't wait to have it for breakfast tomorrow.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
