Coconut Carrot Quick Bread

This is a great quick bread recipe that has no processed sugar or dairy, and hides some veggies into a treat that your kids will eat!

2 eggs
2/3 cup agave syrup or other sugar substitute
2/3 cup oil
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 whole carrots, grated
1/3 cup coconut (or more, depending on how much you like it!)

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Beat eggs, agave syrup and oil. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add dry mixture to egg mixture.

Beat well. Add carrots and coconut.

Grease (I like to use olive oil spray) a 9x5 inch loaf pan and pour in batter. Or prepare 2 mini-size loafs for child-size pieces.

Bake one hour for regular loaf, 40 minutes for small loaves. Before removing from oven, pierce with a knife and make sure it comes out clean. Bread may need to bake slightly longer depending on your oven and carrot-moisture levels.

Place on cooling rack and eat! yum!
