Carrot and date bread

YUM! This recipe has been my priority and weekly task since moving to London. I am a huge fan of baking anything sweet but bread - that is a new chapter. Moving to London and most of all doing all of my grocery shopping alone had me rethink on what I really need and what I can make myself.

If you need another easy made bread to crave in your life, this is it! Toast it and spread some crunchy peanut butter on top and you are good to go!
