Servings:
one dehydrator trayA slightly sweet carrot bread. Good for breakfast with a bit of coconut butter.
Ingredients:
3 medium carrots
1/2 apple
3/4 C. pecans, soaked
5 dates, pitted,
soaked
date soak water

liquid sweetener of your choice
dash of salt
dash of cinnamon
Preparation:
Process carrots and apple in food processor until well chopped, set aside in a medium bowl. Chop dates and pecans in food processor, add to carrot apple mixture. Grind chia (coffee grinder works well for me). Add ground chia to carrot 'dough'.
Add liquid sweetener, salt, and cinnamon to taste. Add date soak water if more moisture is needed.
Spread on dehydrator sheet about 1/4-1/2" thick. Dehydrate at 145 for 1.5 hours, then turn down to 110 and dehydrate 8 hours or until desired moisture is achieved. Cut into squares and serve with coconut butter or sweet spread.

4. I'm glad it turned out well!
I'm glad it turned out well! I've totally been looking for a good zucchini bread recipe- maybe a zucchini, walnut, prune combo?
5. jillian, i made this today
jillian, i made this today and i LOVED it. i subbed the carrots with carrot pulp and the dates with prunes. it was soo good!! i like it even better than regular carrot bread. we should try to come up with a zucchini bread recipe when zucchini is in season. my family grows them so i always have a ton in the summer.
6. Ya, I'm sure carrot pulp
Ya, I'm sure carrot pulp would work fine. It's great to be able to use pulp in recipes- I'll try that next time I make this. It might take more date soak water for additional moisture. Lemme know how it turns out! :)
7. do you think i could use
do you think i could use carrot pulp in place of the carrots? i just juiced a crapload of carrots and don't wanna waste the pulp. this look soooo good though!! carrot cake is my favorite cake, so i'm sure this is a treat as well.
