Lemon Carrot Raisin Bread w/Lemon Glaze

There is nothing better than a warm bread with lemon glaze. This recipe combines some great flavors: lemon, raisins, and sweetness of the carrot. It is semi-healthy…maybe, but delicious none-the-less. I usually have to make two batches of glaze because I eat the first one while waiting for the bread to cool.
Delicious Rating: This is an easy recipe to make ahead for breakfast or a day’s snack. The bread stays together quite nicely and the carrots, raisins, and pecans are a nice addition. You can add walnuts if you would rather have that instead of pecans. Soak the raisins in some liquor for a little grown up flavor!

Chop up the raisins so that they are not so chunky inside the bread. I used a chef knife but you can run them through the food processor until you reach the size you like.
So I could have went with a smaller cut of carrots. They cooked up nicely in the bread though but you can process yours more small.
