Carrot Raisin Quick Bread

---

Another gem i found through cooking light magazine. this gives a very moist and packed with flavor quick bread that is lower in calories than a cake. i like to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the bread but the original recipe does not call for them so i left it as written. it is also fun to add about a 1/2 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut for a fun twist.
