Discover this inexpensive and practical recipe to prepare at home. It is not only ideal for breakfast, but also for a snack and even as a dessert.

Nothing like a good breakfast

Eating breakfast is essential to start the day with energy and willingness. Any option is better than not doing it, as many people do due to lack of habit or time.

Carrot bread with coconut and ginger will provide you with many of the nutrients you need throughout the day. It also has the advantage that you will have prepared breakfast for the whole week in a while.

Carrot bread: the ideal breakfast

Surely, you may be wondering why carrot bread with coconut and ginger is the ideal breakfast. Well, take note:

• Thanks to its sweet and smooth taste, carrots can work perfectly as a dessert. It is also a source of beta-carotene, essential nutrients for healthy skin and eyesight.
• Coconut contains essential fatty acids and gives this homemade bread an exotic touch.
• For its part, ginger is a beneficial spice for the health of our body, which adds juiciness to this bread.

We suggest you make this recipe with whole wheat flour, to make it more nutritious and satisfying. And if you have a gluten intolerance or want it to be even more digestive, make it with rice flour. In addition, in principle, this recipe is also lactose free. However, you must take care that none of the ingredients that you add are included.

Therefore, it is a bread even easier to digest than the rest. To sweeten it and to keep it healthy, we will use good quality honey or cane sugar. In this sense, it should be borne in mind that today many types of whole sugar are sold, which, in reality, are white sugar with molasses.
