Instructions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare a loaf pan with parchment paper and cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together eggs and coconut sugar until smooth.
  • Add in maple syrup, vanilla, melted coconut oil, almond flour, coconut flour, spices, salt, baking powder, and grated carrots. Mix until combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven for 38-40 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and let fully cool.
  • While the loaf is baking, make the icing. In a large bowl mix together the cream cheese, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. I use a hand mixer here to get the icing nice and light. Feel free to use a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer.
  • Once the loaf is fully cooled, smear icing over the top of the loaf. Don't rush this as the icing will melt if the loaf is still warm.
  • If ya want to be fancy, sprinkle on toasted pecans, flowers, and orange zest.
  • Enjoy the loaf with a cup of tea and a Joel Plaskett record.
