I developed this recipe as a healthy treat for my kids--they love it! It could be made a bit sweeter if you prefer by upping the sugar to a full cup.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this recipe. It turned out great!

This carrot bread is so moist and flavorful. I can't believe it's made with whole wheat flour.

This carrot bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my carrot bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love that this carrot bread is made with whole wheat flour and honey instead of refined sugar. It's a much healthier option than traditional carrot bread.
