Carrot, Coconut and Walnut Loaf

This is loaf is not flash or fancy but is packed full of crazy cool carrots. Free of sugar and dairy it makes for a great snack option - especially if you are breastfeeding and are needing to cut your dairy out! What is more it is one of my one bowl wonders!! My big boy helped to create this one....and eat it too!
