3 med-large carrots, grated
3 ripe bananas, mashed ( or ½ cup melted butter)

Has anyone made this with coconut flour? I have an almond allergic kid here who I know would love to eat this.

Wow. The very first paleo/primal recipe I actually got my husband to say “This is REALLY good”
THANK YOU, I have thus far been unable to peel him away from white flour and white sugar. He said he would be happy to eat this all the time!!!

I’m excited to try this tonight as we have company over. I won’t even tell them they are eating “primal”. LOL. Thanks for all the great recipes.

This looks delicious. I may try doing a 50/50 half carrot cake / half carrot/zuchinni mix.

FYI for folks who don’t like or can’t tolerate the cream cheese topping. You can substitute butter (I use an olive oil based butter) to give it that little extra flavor contrast.

This recipe was really tasty–no frosting needed!

Only sub I made was to use some raisins instead of coconut as I didn’t have coconut on-hand.

I will probably bake the loaf a little longer next time as the loaf was still a little wet, even after passing the toothpick test.

Will try with pumpkin and perhaps grated zuchinni too!!

Thanks
