Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 pound carrots, thickly sliced
1 cup walnut halves
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup buttermilk

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0 and adjust the rack to the center position. Spray two 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the carrots and boil until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash the carrots with a potato masher. Let cool.
2
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts on a baking sheet until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
3
In a medium bowl whisk together the flours, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and honey until pale yellow. Whisk in the oil and buttermilk. Stir in the carrots, then stir in the flour mixture just until blended. Fold in the walnuts with a rubber spatula.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until golden, springy to the touch and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let the loaves cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Store leftovers in plastic zipper-lock bag in the refrigerator.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
