    More About Flahavan’s Oats

    A leader in sustainable food production, Flahavan’s Irish oats, grown and slow-milled in Southeast Ireland, have produced high protein, high fiber naturally creamy oats since the 1700s. Flahavan’s oats are approved for almost every dietary trend, from vegan to gluten-free, and recommended for wellness concerns from heart health to weight loss.

    So Let's Talk About Flahavan's Irish Oats!!  

    • All the hype? These boastable Irish Oats are grown and harvested locally in small batches to capture the rich delicious flavor in original Irish Oatmeal. Their unique way of milling is what gives the oats their full rich texture, sealing in the natural aroma and giving your oatmeal its distinctive creamy taste.
    • Check out how they do the Oat Milling Process and they are are committed to sustainable production that protects the environment and their community. As an Irish manufacturer their products also carry the Love Irish Food and the Guaranteed Irish symbols.  
    • I was so excited to try Flahavan's Irish Oatmeal. Our family eats a ton of oatmeal and oats, so of course I wanted to try it.  We use it in so many things, and it is one of my all-time favorite ingredients that I love to incorporate into desserts and healthy treats.  
    • You can be healthy and sort of healthy--I say, when you incorporate oatmeal into your goodies. F
    • First and foremost, Oatmeal is deemed healthy. So, my thing is, if I add oatmeal to a recipe, it could be healthy or sort of healthy. It makes it acceptable anyway you slice it in this delish carrot cake loaf!

    How to Make Healthy Carrot Cake Bread Loaf

    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and set it aside.
    2. In a mixing bowl whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Set aside.
    3. In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla and mix well.
    4. Add the flour mixture to the oil mixture and stir just a few strokes.

      Nancy, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for trying it and the rave review! xo

      I have made your carrot quick bread a dozen times! Hands down, this beats the zucchini and banana breads I have made for years. I love the spices, the oats, everything! I do reduce the sugar just because of personal taste and also add unsweetened coconut flakes and craisins. I bake mine in 4 minis (37 min.) so I can share with family. Always a hit around here. Thanks for a great recipe.

      Yes you could, the texture might change a little, but should still be good!

      Can I substitute the oil with butter and still add applesauce?

      Just popped this one in my oven. Great ingredients and great instructions. I love carrots and this recipe includes TWO cups! So many other online recipes I perused had but one cup. My home has such a beautiful aroma right now. The only change I made was to add a quarter teaspoon of ground cloves. Thanks for posting your luscious recipe.
