Yield: 6 mini loaves

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups C&H Pure Cane granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 3 cups carrots, shredded*
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour six 5 3/4 x 3 x 2 inch mini loaf pans.
2. Combine sugar, eggs and oil; mix well. Stir in carrots.
3. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Blend into batter. Pour mixture into prepared loaf pans, filling each loaf pan just under half-full.
4. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until the center of the loaf springs back when lightly touched.
5. Cool in pan on wire rack.
