CAN I SUBSTITUTE WALNUTS?

We love the texture the added walnuts gives the bread but you can also use pecans or just completely omit the nuts in the bread.

CAN I FREEZE CARROT BREAD?

This carrot bread freezes GREAT! Once the baked bread is completely cooled just wrap in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze the loaf. The bread can be frozen for about 2-3 months. Quick tip: You can also freeze the carrot bread in slices and just take out a couple slices at a time.

Reheat: Just thaw the bread and then reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
