4 Ingredient Carrot Apple Bread (Vegan + Refined Sugar Free)
This is a delicious and easy bread to make in a pinch with just some self rising flour, applesauce, cinnamon and finely shredded carrot. With only four ingredients you cannot go wrong. The bread has an amazing crusty exterior and a soft and yummy interior. Its slightly sweet with just the unsweetened applesauce as a sweetener. This is perfect for something to snack on or for a quick breakfast with some honey and tahini!
If you don’t have self rising flour, you can make you’re own homemade self rising flour as outlined in the recipe box below. I added walnuts in mine and loved the crunchy texture. Toss in raisins or chopped dates for some added sweetness.

4 Ingredient Carrot Apple Bread (Vegan)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups self rising flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup thin shredded carrots
Optional Add Ins:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup raisins or chopped dates
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- For HOMEMADE Self Rising Flour: 3 cups all purpose flour + 4½ tsp baking powder + 3/4 tsp salt. Whisk together until combined.
- In a large bowl, using a rubber spatula, mix self rising flour, cinnamon and applesauce until fully incorporated. Fold in the carrots (and any additional add ins you chose; I only added in walnuts to mine). Transfer the batter to your loaf pan and flatten out evenly. Bake for 50-55 or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow to set in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to fully cool prior to slicing.
what other flour can we add, if we want to replace self rising flour with a healthier choice?

Thank you for such a great recipe
I made 2 of your recipes today. Love how healthy and simple they were.
Hi Megan, of course! Glad you tried it and liked it! I store this in an air tight container on my counter. lasts 5 days. If you store it in your fridge will last longer
Delicious! I added 2 TBS since I live at altitude.
Hi Holly, great feedback! thank you for sharing!
Looks delicious. Do you think I could use sweetened applesauce rather than sugar if I want to add some sweetener to it?
Hi Rita, Yes that will work too!
Excellent recipe! Just made it with King Arthur gluten free 1:1 flour and it came out great. I even added a little grated sweet potato and sunflower and pumpkin seeds. I wanted something healthy to spread sunflower butter and fruit spread on and this fits the bill perfectly! Thank you!
Hi Tonya, YES this bread is perfect for that! Thank you trying out the recipe and coming back to leave your kind comment!
