Carrot Bread with Orange Glaze
One day, I bought lots of carrots and I wanted to make carrot bread. I found this low fat recipe online.
I can't remember since I made this about a month ago, but I think I used flax seed instead of the whole egg.
Also the original recipe says 8x5 inch pan, but mine didn't have enough portion of the dough for 8x5. I also cut down sugar a lot so it's not so sweet. But I'll suggest to use 1/2 cup just like the original recipe says.
