Method

01
Preheat your oven to 180C and line your baking tin with greaseproof paper, and set aside.
02
To a large mixing bowl add your oil, light brown sugar, almond extract and eggs. Mix together until well combined.
03
Add your flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, and ginger and gently fold these into the mixture.
04
Next, add your orange zest and grated carrot, and almond butter. Fold them into the mixture so they're evenly dispersed.
05
Spoon your mixture into your prepared loaf tin and place in the oven for about 50-55 minutes until well-risen and golden. Allow cooling in the tin for around 15 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve with lashings of runny almond butter and ENJOY!
