Oatmeal carrot bread

This is so easy! The mixture also makes good muffins that will fill you up until lunch time. Ideal to pop in your lunchbox or eat on the way to work.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.

In a big bowl, mix together all dry ingredients. In another bowl, mix wet ingredients, then pour wet over dry and mix until just combined – do not over-mix otherwise it will not rise very well. Pour mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 35 minutes.

Leave loaf to cool in oven then turn out, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate overnight, which allows mixture to settle and makes it easier to cut (the one in our photo was cut as soon as it came out of the oven, consequently it’s a bit crumbly!).

Variations

Use courgettes instead of carrots and add some nuts if you wish.
