Cinnamon Sugar Topping

1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350* F. Grease an 8 ½" by 4 ½" loaf pan with shortening or pan spray and insert a parchment sling for easy removal.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for topping the loaf. Stir to combine and set aside.
1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar, ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Whisk and set aside.
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, 2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger, ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, canola oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla. Stir with a rubber spatula, being sure to break up any chunks of brown sugar. Add grated carrots and stir to combine.
1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, ½ Cup Canola Oil, ½ Cup Non-Dairy Milk, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 2 ½ Cups Grated Carrot
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain. Pour the batter into a prepared 8 ½ x 4 ½ loaf pan and use a spatula to even the top out.
Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the loaf, them bake it in a 350* oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. See note!

Notes

2 ½ cups of grated carrot is about 10 ounces of carrots. Wash them well, then grate them on the large size of a box grater.

The loaf will look like it is getting dark quickly because of the cinnamon on top. But don't remove it from the oven until a toothpick comes out clean. It will not burn, I promise!
