The Carrot Apple Loaf is delicious and filling when hiking in Waterton or kayaking Lake Isle. It will hold well in a food storage container to carry while exercising.
It will start to crumble when taken on a longer adventure such as backpacking the West Coast Trail or kayaking Desolation Sound. The loaf won’t be as fresh after a couple of days and dry out which won’t make it as tasty or flavourful for eating.
It’s a nice healthy treat to share with your partner.
If you don’t like coconut oil, this can be substituted with canola or vegetable oil, if you prefer. I like to use gala apples when making this recipe. The carrots and apples add nice moisture to this loaf. It will take you around twenty minutes to mix the ingredients and approximately forty-five minutes to bake in the oven. An additional fifteen minutes will be needed to let it cool on the cooling rack, once it’s done baking. A piece of spaghetti or a toothpick makes it easy to tell when it’s cooked; it should come out clean. If there is still batter on it, it will need to be cooked longer.
The carrot apple loaf will provide a tasty treat for you and your partner. You’ll be able to freeze it for later if you wish. The recipe can be made into a double batch. Plan to cut up and freeze one loaf to have it ready to go when you want a homemade treat to take with you on an outdoor adventure. It’s always nice to have snacks available to eat.
