Low-Carb Carrot Cake Bread - grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, insanely moist and fluffy!

For those times youโ€™re craving cake for breakfast but donโ€™t want to feel the imminent guiltโ€ฆ

Hereโ€™s an idea! Turn the โ€œcakeโ€ into โ€œbreadโ€ and make it low-carb ๐Ÿ˜‰

Iโ€™ve learned in my ripe old age that when a craving strikes, you listen, lest it sprout feet and get away from you. Although I often crave baked goods, coming up with more mindful alternatives is my way of indulging in my craving in a health-conscious manner. 

Enter: this carrot cake bread.

Itโ€™s grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, loaded with carrot cake essentials, and really hits the spot when youโ€™re jonesing for something comforting.

Grain-Free Low-Carb Carrot Cake Bread - a loaf of pure deliciousness! sugar-free, dairy-free, moist, fluffy, amazing!

Now before we proceed, I have to point out something crucial: there are no raisins in this recipe.

I realize not everyone is a fan of raisins anyway, but I do think they provide an important texture and flavor to carrot cake. Because raisins are crazy high in carbs (I was going to add ยฝ cup until I calculated 62 carbs in ยฝ cup serving), I skipped them for my friends who are strictly keto.

If you arenโ€™t strictly keto and love raisins in your carrot cake, add them in!

Sealing the deal on the whole adventure, I use my Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting to put the icing on the cake…err…bread.

Simply follow the low-carb version of the recipe if youโ€™d like to follow suit, use your own rendition of cream cheese frosting, or skip the frosting altogether.

Ingredients for Carrot Cake Bread: 

Almond flour, full-fat canned coconut milk, eggs, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, shredded coconut, grated carrot, walnuts, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, baking powder, and sea salt.

The end result is a grain-free, sugar-free bread that is insanely moist, fluffy, and magical for sharing with others. Again, you can add raisins if youโ€™d like!

How to Make Low-Carb Carrot Cake Banana Bread:

If making the Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting to frost the bread, soak the cashews overnight, then follow the instructions to prepare the frosting. Frosting can be made up to 7 days in advance.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9โ€ x 5โ€ loaf pan with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well-combined (note: if your coconut milk is separated when you open it, stir it well or transfer it to a microwave safe container and microwave it until melted).

Add the remaining ingredients (almond flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon. Ground ginger, nutmeg, sea salt, grated carrot, and chopped walnuts) and stir until well-combined.

Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on the top and tests clean.

Allow bread to rest at least 30 minutes before frosting it with cream cheese frosting. Slice and serve!

Questions and Reviews

  1. Oh No!! I just got to the end of the recipe, and I found that I don’t have walnuts! ๐Ÿ™ That would’ve been soooo good! Oh well. I love the recipe! ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Hi Katie! I like using Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener, but you can also use Swerve, Truvia, allulose, or really any sugar-free granulated sweetener that you like ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope you enjoy the bread!

    1. Hi Caroline!

      I bet it would work as mini muffins, but without having tried it I’m not sure what the exact bake time would be. I just googled a standard mini muffin recipe and it said 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Let me know how it turns out! xo

  2. Wondering if I could use chick pea and oat flour instead of almond flour? I noticed the chick pea is a little over bearing if use too much. What ratio would you recommend?

    1. Hi Terry,

      I’m not sure what the ratio would be, as I haven’t tested the recipe myself using a combination of chickpea and oat flour. I would try 1.5 cups of oat flour and 2/3 cup chickpea flour and see what the consistency of the batter is like. You can adjust the amount of flour up if need be ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. The recipe says that it is sugar-free, but you have coconut sugar or raw cane sugar listed as the sweetener. I assume the recipe should work with any sugar free sweetener substitute like monkfruit or stevia?

    1. Hi Alex,

      Oh dear…thanks so much for catching that! I had tested the recipe using both coconut sugar and raw cane sugar too, and left it as the ingredient instead of changing it back to sugar-free sweetener. My apologies for the confusion! But you nailed it – it should read sugar-free sweetener – I went ahead and made the change ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks again for bringing that to my attention! xoxoxo
