Use It All Loaf

So much better than banana bread! This loaf is a staple at Cornersmith and my home kitchen. It's one of our most popular recipes, because you can use whatever grated vegetables or fruits you have - try grated carrot, grated pear or grated beetroot. Plus you can use up bits and pieces from the pantry -nuts or seeds, choc chips or dried fruits, it all works. And it's fun coming up with different combinations.

Just avoid very over-ripe fruit as it will make the loaf too wet!

Eat this for breakfast, pop it into lunchboxes or serve it with tea in the afternoon.

See tips below for some of our favourite flavour combinations.

I used 200g carrot/100 zucchini and choc chips/pumpkin seeds & sultanas. Subbed olive oil. And it is delicious. Made for lunchboxes but will need so self restraint not to eat it 😆

This was the message I received when the cake was first cut. “You can cook the Carrot cake again. Yummy 🤤”. I used gluten free flour and it was great. Really easy to make and utilised ingredients I usually have at home.

So easy and a great lunchbox addition. I used carrots and some half eaten apples (kids), cinnamon and ground ginger. Tastes just like a healthy carrot cake.

Easy to make and turned out well. I used left over mashed pumpkin, chopped almonds and pumpkin seeds on top. I only had raw sugar, and in my small pizza oven the top browned within half an hour. I used another piece of baking paper to cover and bake for another half an hour ( next time if using raw sugar , I’ll put the paper on for first half an hour). Looking forward to trying other combinations.

This recipe turned my floppy carrots and a wrinkly apple into a delicious afternoon snack. I used GF flour so it was a bit flat but I’ll definitely try the other combinations.
