Ingredients

    3 cups grated carrots
    3/4 cup water
    2 tbsp honey
    2 tbsp brown sugar
    1 cup fine cornmeal
    1 1/3 cups unsweetened almond milk
    1 cup flour
    1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    3/4 cup Kashi Honey Almond Flax granola (or your favourite granola)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325F, grease a loaf pan.
In a saucepan, combine carrots and water.
Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes - until the liquid has almost evaporated completely and carrots are falling apart.
Reduce heat to low and mix in the honey, brown sugar, cornmeal and milk.
Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Stir in the flours, baking soda and baking powder, then fold in the granola.
Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake 1 hour 25 minutes - 1 1/2 hours, until a tester yields moist crumbs but not batter.
Cool in the pan 15 minutes before gently unmoulding.
