Instructions
Preheat the oven at 180C. Peel the carrots. Cut them and put them in the blender.
In a bowl: add flour, cinnamon, ginger, vegan protein powder.
Prepare the egg replacement as for package instruction and add the mixture to the bowl. Add also oil and orange juice. add soy milk (maybe you need to add more milk to obtain a semi-liquid mixture). Add the baking powder at the end and mix well.
Pour the mixture into the pre-lined baking tin. Bake at 180C for about 1-hour. poke a knife into the middle – if it comes out clean, take it out of the oven; if not clean when removed, keep it baking in the oven for a further 10 minutes.
