Equipment

Ingredients

Bread

  • 3 Eggs Room Temperature
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/4 cup Allulose *to taste. We are not fans of overly sweet cake but you can test the batter. Erythritol will not add any carbs or calories.
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts chopped
  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds *optional. See post.
  • 2 tsp Banana Extract

Frosting

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Butter Softened
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Allulose * We used 1/4 cup as we do not like overly sweet frosting. But you can use as much as you like.
  • 3 tbsp Heavy Cream *add one tablespoon at a time until fluffy. See post.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a bread pan.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, butter, cream, sweetener & extract together until fluffy and sweetener has dissolved.
  • Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl until incorporated. Add the dry ingredients slowly into the egg mixture.
  • Stir the carrots & nuts into the batter until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  • Pour the batter into the oiled bread-pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The batter may look dry like this.

  • Let bread cool inside pan for 20- 30 minutes and then invert onto cooling rack. While bread is cooling prepare the frosting.

Frosting

  • Let bread cool completely!
  • Cream the butter, sweetener and cream cheese together until smooth. Add in the vanilla continuing to mix. Add in the heavy cream a little at a time until frosting is nice and fluffy.
  • Spread the frosting over the bread and sprinkle with additional chopped nuts if desired.

  • Refrigerate finished bread for at least 1 hour before serving and store leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

The nutrition info is based on cutting the bread being sliced into 12 even sized pieces.
I used the small 8*4 inch bread pan for this recipe. Any bread pan will work but the smaller pan will make a "taller" bread.
