1 1/2 cups raisins
2 cups carrots (grated)
2 cups water (filtered)
2 egg substitute (I used ener-G)
1 1/4 cups maple syrup
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups spelt flour or 3 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup walnuts (chopped)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.
2
Grease a 9-inch spring form pan with spray oil.
3
In a large sauce pan, simmer the raisins and grated carrots in the water over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes.
4
Remove and put in a large bowl.
5
Add the oil, apple sauce, egg replacers, syrup, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. Stir the mixture well.
6
In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda and walnuts together. Stir this dry mixture into the carrot raisin mixture.

Don't over mix this.

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

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.
