Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender
  • 1 9x5 loaf pan

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Japanese sweet potato
  • 5 pitted medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter natural
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 3/4 cup sorghum flour or any gluten free flour mix
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 2 tbsp rasins
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Once the oven is preheated, bake a Japanese sweet potato until it is soft to the touch. Once baked and cooled, remove the skin.
  • In a high-speed blender, add the sweet potato, peanut butter, dates, and plant milk. Blend on high until smooth.
  • To the blender, add the coconut sugar, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, vanilla, remaining milk, and baking soda. Blend again on high until the batter is smooth.
  • Fold in the shredded carrots and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.

Frosting

  • Keeping this recipe low in fat and on the healthy side, I used the vanilla Silk dairy-free yogurt. It worked perfectly as frosting! The yogurt contains tapioca starch so it maintains its thickness.
  • This carrot cake loaf is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat any time of day. Enjoy!
