So simple, so yummy. I followed the advice of a poster and used apple sauce to replace most of the butter. I also added more carrots and used Splenda Brown Sugar mix. Cooking time 40-45'. Healthy and tasty for when you *need* dessert. Who needs the calories in carrot cake? I'll try to add some toasted walnuts next time.05/10/09

I really liked this bread! Not too sweet, nice and moist. I added probably 1 1/2 cups of carrots rather than 1 cup. Its a really easy recipe, too. I'm saving it!02/23/09
