Kitchen Notes
Top with loads of fluffy cream cheese frosting and chopped walnuts and watch them disappear!
OH MY GOODNESS. This is another recipe that has my name all over it!! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow.
I made these as muffins and they are so yummy! I cut back the sugar to 3/4 cup. Also good to mix the wets and drys separately first. With all the grated carrot, it can be hard to get everything mixed thoroughly.
A friend gave me the starter and another gave me these recipes. I have made the carrot bread recipe also the cinnamon and chocolate. This recipe never fails me! And the starter is really fermented! Good eating and to share with all your friends!
