Carrot Bread FAQ
Why is crushed pineapple used in carrot bread?
Crushed pineapple adds moisture and a mild natural sweetness, helping the bread stay tender and flavorful.
Can I reduce or omit the nuts?
Yes. You can reduce the nuts or leave them out entirely. The bread will still bake well and taste great.
How do I know when carrot bread is done?
The loaves are done when the tops are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
How should carrot bread be stored?
Wrap tightly or store in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for longer freshness, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Can I make this recipe as one larger loaf instead of two small loaves?
Often yes, but the baking time will usually increase. Use a loaf pan size you prefer and bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
