Couldn’t imagine how this carrot “loaf” could be different than any others based on the ingredients, but I’ll chime in with the rest of the posters- this was the best carrot cake recipe I ever made!
Made these into muffins. They came out delicious! Baked them for 25 minutes on 325.
Delicious!! Thank you for sharing the best lightest and easiest carrot loaf yet! Made as muffins as well baked for 25 mins came out as good as the loaf
I have made this before in an 8-8″ kugel form, but never in a loaf form. It looks so delicious and I can’t wait to make it!!
Has anyone tried this with Spelt flour? Sounds great but not everyone here can eat wheat.
We have not, but it should work no problem!
These are the best! Getting ready to make a huge batch for the yamim tovim, as we do every summer. Muffin sized, then we pull them out as needed for snacks or sides.
delicious!
I make these into individual muffins and they are a big hit. I make a ton at a time and stick them in the freezer and always have a side dish ready to go. the ind portions also mean I can take out as many as I need!
Lovely recipe and easy to make. Although bake time was much longer than written, I turned up the temperature after some time, I wasn’t sure why it’s written only 325. Also mine didn’t look so smooth on the outside, but despite all this it was delicious !
Hi Atara,
Every oven is a little different. I’m glad it turned out delicious either way!

I make this for my husband. I also add chopped walnuts and craisins. This is his favorite. (For Rosh Hashanah I will leave out walnuts). Easy to make and very freezable. Thanks and Shana Tova.
Hi Esther,
Great adjustments. I love how you personalize this for your husband. Sounds awesome! Shana Tova to you as well!

Hi Rivki Kleiman, My favorite recipe for at least 10 years! FYI isn’t this Brynie Greisman’s recipe down to every detail originally in Mishpacha?
Hi Esther! I’m passing along this message from Rivky:
“I’m so glad this is one of your favorite recipes!
I am the columnist that submitted this recipe to Mishpacha’s Family Table many years ago. ( It originates from a recipe that I got from my mother and have been making it for over 35 years) I hope you continue to enjoy it for many more years.”
question do you grate the carrots on small holes or big holes of grater (more like shredding)
I think you can do whichever you prefer, I personally would do smaller holes so they wouldn’t be as noticeable but it’s up to you!
Muffins? Can I make this into muffins? How long would they need?
I don’t see why not, but I’ve never tried it so I don’t know how long it would need. I would start with 7 minutes and move up with 2-3 minute increments until they are done.
Was absolutely delicious!! Was a perfect side dish that was so easy to throw together last minute!
Made the zucchini variation as well and was also absolutely delicious!
Thank you!
Delicious!!
can I freeze this? how big of a loaf pan should I use?
Yes you can freeze it and an average 9×5 loaf pan.
do you think i can substitute the flour for potato starch and make it for pesach or too risky?
Was just ok. And came out more brown looking than the picture.
What size loaf pan is required?
