Healthy Almond Flour Carrot Cake Tahini Bread is a fluffy and delicious breakfast,snack or dessert filled with carrots, raisins, nuts and topped with a tahini-maple glaze! It’s also paleo, gluten-free and vegan!
I was talking with my Dad the other day and he asked me how to “get” on my blog!
Then he preceded to tell me that he’s only been on my blog a handful of times because he doesn’t know how to “find it” on the internet!! Like what is this? Adults and computers….. I guess I will never understand :(. Maybe he doesn’t really feel the need to look at all the recipes and pretty pictures of food because he gets the privilege of being the main guinea pig taste tester for Athletic Avocado and therefore doesn’t need to make the recipes…Which brings me to this recipe, my Dad LOVED this recipe. I mean every recipe on here is “Michael-approved” but this one really made him going back for seconds fifths.
The inspiration for this Carrot Cake Tahini Bread came from a desire to make some type of bread for breakfast without bananas because sadly, we were out. Buttttttttt my Mom did just buy a ten pound bag of carrots (no joke). So, I made carrot cake acceptable and healthy enough for breakfast!
This recipe is adapted from my Cherry Garcia Banana Bread and is oh so fluffayyyyy, moist and delicious all in one! It’s so easy to make, even your dog can make it. Okay maybe not your pup, but someone who has never really been in the kitchen ever can breeze through this recipe.
This bread is a hearty and delicious breakfast or snack made from whole ingredients like:
Almond flour
Baking soda
Spices
Tahini
Pineapple
Egg/Flax egg
Maple syrup
Carrots
Raisins
Nuts
