carrot loaf cake

[shogunsquirrel]

The best part? This is inadvertently vegan!  How cool!
And it used up a bag of carrots and 2 overripe bananas!

Ingredients

• 7 large carrots, shredded
• 2 cups flour
  
• 1/2 cup steel cut or rolled oats
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1/2 cup raisins; chopped (either golden or dark raisins)
• 2 large bananas; mashed
• 1 cup apple sauce
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Optional: 1 cup of chopped walnuts

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour two loaf pans OR line the pans with "release" aluminum foil
• Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.  I used a food processor to combine carrots, raisins and applesauce.
  
• Bake about 1 hour or until top browns.
