Carrot Raisin quick bread

[skeptic7]

Saturday, I invented a carrot raisin thyme quick bread and it turned out well. Unlike a previous attempt last spring where the bread was too soggy with two much carrot. This is enough my own recipe that I can share it with all and I hope you can tell me what changes will work.

2 cups whole wheat flour sifted
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp dried thyme
about 1/2 cup raisins ( all that was left in the package )
almost 1 cup grated carrots ( this was two carrots grated with a microplane )

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and oil small 8inch cast iron frying pan

Mix the flour, baking soda and baking powder together. Mix in the carrots and thyme. I thought the carrots would clump together if I added them after the liquids.
Beat the buttermilk, egg, honey, and oil together. Blend gently into the flour mixture. Stir in the raisins.
Pour the batter into the frying pan and bake for 30 minutes until done. This had a good texture and was tasty, but the thyme was a rather odd flavor.

So will this work if I use a whole cup of carrots? what other flavors would work instead of thyme. I don't know why I was set on carrot-thyme but I was tired of cinnamon. What about sage?

Spread the word
