Everything But the Kitchen Sink Mini Carrot Bread and Giveaway #sweetcreations

Yum
My holiday baking is in full swing and I have bought loads of baking ingredients.  I couldn't decide what to use first, so I decided to throw a bit of everything into these "Everything but the kitchen sink" mini carrot bread loaves.  I was asked to try out the Sweet Creations by Good Cook mini loaf pan.  This pan is wonderful.  It's four perfectly portioned loaves so it works great for my family of four. I made this bread for starters, then I made mini meatloaves as a savory creation.  I can't wait to keep playing with all the perfectly portioned meals I can make with this pan.  My kids felt extra special since they got their own individual loaves. This pan is a keeper.
