Carrot Bread

It is picnic and camping season so I thought I would dig out some of my favorites. I have made this camping..you can just cover in top, loosely with foil and put right in the campfire. If you happen to have a grill with a lid..make sure coals are hot..place on grill and close the lid. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick and see if it comes out clean. The kids always thought this was so cool!
NEED:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups finely grated raw carrots
1 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup raisins (optional)

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Beat eggs and add sugar and oil. Sift together flour, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and add to egg mixture.

Beat well. Add carrots, nuts and raisins. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and pour in batter.

Bake one hour.

Variation: Can be baked in 6 greased soup cans (good for camping trips or picnics!). Fill each can half full and bake 45-50 minutes at 350F degrees. Remove labels and wash and dry cans before using.


Enjoy!
