Oatmeal Carrot Cake Bread
Carrot cake was an earthy staple of the 1970s, but unlike flared pants, tie-dye shirts and macramé potholders, carrot cake never went out of style. This Quaker oats version stays true to tradition but still brings home the sense that tasty and wholesome will always be welcome. Maybe even after tonight’s family dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Large Flake Quaker® Oats or Quick Quaker® Oats (uncooked)
- 1/2 cup non-fat milk
- One 8-ounce can crushed pineapple in juice, un-drained
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups shredded carrots (about 3 medium)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray bottom only of two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans or one 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or grease lightly.
