A quick and delicious snack bread that you can always count on in a rush. Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside – we love it!
This is a delicious and easy bread to make in a pinch with just some self rising flour, applesauce, cinnamon and finely shredded carrot. With only four ingredients you cannot go wrong. The bread has an amazing crusty exterior and a soft and yummy interior. Its slightly sweet with just the unsweetened applesauce as a sweetener. This is perfect for something to snack on or for a quick breakfast with some honey and tahini!
If you don’t have self rising flour, you can make you’re own homemade self rising flour as outlined in the recipe box below. I added walnuts in mine and loved the crunchy texture. Toss in raisins or chopped dates for some added sweetness.

Equipment
- 9×5 inch loaf pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups self rising flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup thin shredded carrots

- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup raisins or chopped dates
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- For HOMEMADE Self Rising Flour: 3 cups all purpose flour + 4½ tsp baking powder + 3/4 tsp salt. Whisk together until combined.
- In a large bowl, using a rubber spatula, mix self rising flour, cinnamon and applesauce until fully incorporated. Fold in the carrots (and any additional add ins you chose; I only added in walnuts to mine). Transfer the batter to your loaf pan and flatten out evenly. Bake for 50-55 or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to set in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to fully cool prior to slicing.
Notes
Make sure you do not exceed the 3/4 cup carrot shreds because that will make the bread wet and not cook through properly.
