Ingredients

1 cup shredded carrots
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoon cream cheese softened
1-3 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line the bottom of a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, eggs, oil, yogurt, coconut, raisins and vanilla. Stir until combined. 1 cup shredded carrots, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup golden raisins, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and nutmeg. 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 58-62 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread. When the toothpick comes out crumb-free, the bread is done.
Let the bread cool for 5 minutes in the pan, run a knife along the edges and remove from the pan. Remove the parchment paper, and let cool on a cooling rack.
Stir together the powdered sugar, cream cheese and milk to create a glaze. Drizzle over the top of the warm bread. Slice and serve. 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoon cream cheese, 1-3 tablespoons whole milk
