Eggless Carrot Coconut Quick Bread – #BreadBakers

This month’s Bread Bakers host Mayuri of Mayuri’s Jikoni suggested a very nice theme. We need to use natural sweeteners in our bread. My very first thought was a quick bread when I saw the theme. But I was not very sure about flavour combinations. As I have done breads with banana and chocolate, I chose to do it with carrots and coconut. There are so many recipes for this combination and I chose a very simple recipe from Tastes of Lizzy T.  But as I was doing the natural sweeteners theme, I used palm sugar instead of normal sugar and made a caramel using palm sugar to pour on the bread. I also topped it with roasted coconut.

As for making the bread eggless, I used the home made egg replacer I made earlier. From the day I put that recipe in blog, I have seen many of my readers trying it at home. And for some, they are not quite satisfied with the results. But when I asked the problems they were facing, I found that they were using too less of the powder because they are afraid of failure. For me, I have used it in so many recipes with good results. I have substituted upto three eggs in recipes. My only advice to all those who are trying that recipe is, do not be afraid. Use the quantity suggested in the post and you will surely get good results. Just to prove my point, I used the powder for this recipe and it turned out super soft and so yum. Carrot bread don’t turn out light. They are dense, heavy but soft and moist. The raisins add a nice texture to the bread.

Grated Carrot – 1 cup

Grated Fresh Coconut – 1/2 cup
