With Spring here and Easter just around the corner I thought to share with you one of our favorite recipes for this time of the year, our Carrot Bread with chocolate chips and Brown Sugar Almond Glaze. This bread recipe is delicious and for sure a family favorite.
This bread is super moist and the chocolate touch is always a plus!
However my favorite thing is the Brown Sugar Almond Glaze.
So darn good!
