Carrot Bread ~ Using Leftover Juice Pulp is a terrific recipe to use up the leftovers from making your own fresh juices.
The last batch of carrot juice I made left me with 9 cups of carrot pulp. I’ve read many articles that say there’s no nutrients left in the pulp after you juice veggies in a juicer but that doesn’t mean it has no dietary value. I mean, fiber. For every 4 large carrots you juice, there’s 6 grams of fiber left in the pulp.
So, carrot bread is born. Really, it’s the same recipe I use for zucchini bread, just with carrots in place of the zucchini.
To make the bread, you will need 3 cups of carrot pulp (or shredded carrots if you’re not using juice leftovers). Begin by combining lard or shortening with sugar. (amounts given in the printout below)
Add 4 eggs, water, the carrot pulp and stir well.
Next, add ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, salt, baking powder and vanilla.
Stir in some all purpose flour and coarsely chopped nuts.
This recipe makes two loaves of bread, so you will need two 9x5x3 inch loaf pans that have been buttered on the bottom. Divide the mixture among the two pans and tap the bottom on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in a 350 degrees F. oven for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick or sharp knife comes out clean when inserted into the center.
Allow to cool for 30 minutes and remove from pans. Finish cooling completely on a wire rack.
If you’re so inclined to give your bread an icing for more of a cake type dish (like carrot cake), a cream cheese icing is a delightful finish.
Simply delicious!
I hope you’ll enjoy using up your left over juice pulp for bread like this or muffins or whatever floats your boat.
Have a beautiful day and as always, keep it delicious!
Much love,
