How to Make Flourless Carrot Walnut Greek Yogurt Loaf

PIN IT

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla.
4. Fold Together: Stir wet into dry, then fold in carrots and walnuts. Batter will be thick.
5. Bake: Pour into loaf pan and bake 40–45 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool: Let loaf cool completely before glazing (this is the hardest part—waiting!).
7. Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaf.

Every slice is moist, nutty, and just sweet enough. The glaze takes it from wholesome to irresistible!

What to Serve with Carrot Walnut Loaf

• A warm cup of chai tea or latte.
• Fresh fruit or berries.
• A dollop of extra Greek yogurt on the side.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Grate fresh carrots: Don’t use pre-shredded, they’re too dry.

• Toast your walnuts: This brings out their natural sweetness.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
• Fridge: Keeps fresh for 5–6 days.
• Freeze: Slice and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge.
