“Made this with crushed pineapple instead of applesauce (because it’s what I had) and added 1/3 cup of coconut. Oh. My. Gosh. Amazing! We polished it off super fast and I’m making more. It’s a wonderful bread for breakfast, especially if you don’t add the crea” — a cook, 5.0★
“I made the carrot cake bread exactly as written. This is fantastic! The bread is very moist and the top has a nice crust. My husband really liked it and my daughter (who is my Mikey) really like it too! Great recipe.” — a cook, 5.0★
