As a busy health-care professional and mom, one of the most meaningful gifts I give to the people I love is my time and skills in the kitchen. I have been baking since I was 7 years old and while I still am an avid baker, raising three children, caring for three dogs and working full-time leaves me with little energy! My family appreciates all my efforts and this is a favorite extra “gift” I give people for special events like a housewarming or welcoming a new baby. It is especially good toasted with butter. \u2014Krystal Horudko, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7061,"featured_media":707053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"tags":[303971,304158,305616,305615,307648,304423,304328,304993,305487,304338,306171,304515,304390,303966,304988,304408,304368,306848,305669,304558,324623,304388,304150,304468,307614,305031,304403],"categories-v2":[308500,310461,309438,310897,310890,310632,308821,308988,308984,308481,308940,310796,308992,312036,308880,308761,308495,308935,308813,308745,309603,310938,308910,309177,308752,309434,308875,310591,308975,308812],"coauthors":[305],"recommended_recipes":[{"post_title":"Carrot Banana Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/carrot-banana-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Carrot-Banana-Bread_EXPS_FT22_12731_F_0419_1.jpg"},{"post_title":"Carrot Cookies","post_link":"\/recipes\/carrot-cookies\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Artichoke-Chicken_EXPS_TOHD_24_19743_ChristineMa_7.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/milk-and-honey-white-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/EXPS_TOHD24_2356_ChristineMa_12.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey Spice Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/honey-spice-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/exps17896_SD143207B06_04_5b_WEB2.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey Wheat Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/honey-wheat-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Honey-Wheat-Bread_EXPS_FRBZ22_1228_MD_03_16_1b.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey-Glazed Carrots","post_link":"\/recipes\/honey-glazed-carrots\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Honey-Glazed-Carrots_EXPS_FT22_9051_ST_1_05_1.jpg"},{"post_title":"Pineapple Carrot Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/pineapple-carrot-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/EXPS_TOHD24_3028_DanielleMoore_6.jpg"},{"post_title":"Vegetable Meat Loaf","post_link":"\/recipes\/vegetable-meat-loaf\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/exps774_CFT163900B01_20_1b.jpg"},{"post_title":"Zucchini Carrot Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/carrot-zucchini-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Zucchini-Carrot-Bread_TOHD24_9237_JuliaHartbeck_13-sq.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey Beet Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/honey-beet-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Honey-Beet-Bread_EXPS_FTTMZJ21_22320_E03_04_2b.jpg"},{"post_title":"Carrot Meat Loaf","post_link":"\/recipes\/carrot-meat-loaf\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps5865_CS1304C33.jpg"},{"post_title":"Carrot Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/carrot-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Carrot-Bread_EXPS_FT21_21187_F_0223_1.jpg"},{"post_title":"Gingerbread Loaf","post_link":"\/recipes\/gingerbread-loaf\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps11264_QC10074C27B.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey & Ginger Glazed Carrots","post_link":"\/recipes\/honey-ginger-glazed-carrots\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/exps121373_SD153320D12_04_3b.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey Orange Glazed Carrots","post_link":"\/recipes\/honey-orange-glazed-carrots\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps29933_CWX57904D34.jpg"},{"post_title":"Carrot and Pineapple Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/carrot-and-pineapple-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/recipeFallback.jpg"},{"post_title":"Carrot Pineapple Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/carrot-pineapple-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps7434_TH1854C18.jpg"},{"post_title":"Honey Whole Wheat Bread","post_link":"\/recipes\/honey-whole-wheat-bread\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/recipeFallback.jpg"},{"post_title":"Cinnamon Loaf","post_link":"\/recipes\/cinnamon-loaf\/","post_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/exps27505_LT10507D31D-1.jpg"}],"acf":{"long_pin":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Carrot-Honey-Loaf_EXPS_THAM18_172616_B10_10_6b.jpg"},"recipe_schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Recipe","@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/carrot-honey-loaf\/","name":"Carrot Honey Loaf","datePublished":"2018-01-01","dateModified":"2022-08-25","prepTime":"PT20M","cookTime":"PT60M","totalTime":"PT01H20M","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Carrot-Honey-Loaf_EXPS_THAM18_172616_B10_10_6b-1.jpg","height":1200,"width":1200},"recipeCategory":"","description":"As a busy health-care professional and mom, one of the most meaningful gifts I give to the people I love is my time and skills in the kitchen.

I have made this many times and it is always very good. One time I didn't have enough oil nor any apple sauce so I used 1\/2 c oil and a 1\/4 cup Greek yogurt and the bread was moist and tasty. For those who want more sweetness, add raisins - again the result was very good. My nuts-loving husband liked it when I added toasted walnuts. Plain or with additions this is a nice change from my family's favorite banana bread.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-02-23","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedBullhorn"},"reviewBody":"This bread was delicious.

I tried this because I\u2019ve lots of carrots in the fridge and the contributor is a fellow Maritimer! It turned out wonderful. I subbed in applesauce for 1\/2 the oil and it\u2019s nice and moist. I have to disagree with the other 2 reviews below- one states the nutmeg MUST be freshly grated in order for the recipe to be successful, and the other states it\u2019s not a very sweet bread. I used ground nutmeg and it\u2019s still great and also found that it is plenty sweet for our tastes.

I didn't see the note in the comments to use freshly grated nutmeg but I could taste the nutmeg. I sampled a little piece warm from the oven and it was good. I liked it better cooled with butter. I didn't try toasting it. Everyone that has tried it here seems to like it but it has been noted it isn't an overly sweet bread like banana bread. If you expect sweetness, you may be disappointed with the lack of it. A nice change from the normal quick breads.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-06-29","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GoldTurtle"},"reviewBody":"Not a fan. I was expecting this to have the flavor of carrot cake or spice cake, but it did not. It wasn't sweet enough and while it had enough of the spices that were there, something was definitely missing. The top also burned which didn't help. We will eat it rather than throw it out, but I think it's going to need cream cheese.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":2,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-06-15","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OliveUmbrella"},"reviewBody":"We really enjoyed this recipe; it has great flavor without depending on overly sweet taste. I made as is except I didn't have enough honey, so I used 1\/4 c honey, 1\/4 c light corn syrup, and 1\/4 c molasses. It made 2 mini loaves (foil pans from store) and one slightly larger mini loaf (pan I had at home) that baked 30-35 minutes. I also added raisins to part of the batter, but most of the family ate the part without and enjoyed them. We also liked them warm with butter as one other reviewer suggested. I would like to try to replace the oil (or part of it) with the applesauce next time, also has suggested by another reviewer.
