Carrot raisin bread is a classic quick bread that is moist, flavorful, and packed with nutritious carrots and sweet raisins. It's a popular choice for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea, and it also makes a great gift. This article provides two delicious recipes for carrot raisin bread: a classic version and a healthier version made with whole wheat flour and less sugar. Both recipes are easy to follow and yield a delicious, moist, and flavorful loaf of bread. The classic recipe uses all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, grated carrots, raisins, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. The healthier version substitutes whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, uses less sugar, and adds flaxseed meal and Greek yogurt for extra nutrition. Both recipes are topped with a sweet and crunchy streusel topping made with oats, brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon.

Steps:
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the sugar, salt and shortening; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cooled milk mixture and egg; stir well to combine. In a separate bowl, combine carrots, raisins, 2 cups flour, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Mix together with your fingers until carrots and raisins are coated and separated.
- Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hour.
- Deflate dough and allow to rise again until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. (At this point, you may divide the dough into 12 pieces and form into rolls if you wish.) Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
