How to Make Carrot Rolls

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease and flour two baking sheets or a loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, sugar, and eggs. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the melted butter and cardamom.
If making rolls, divide the dough into 12-16 equal portions. Shape each portion into a roll and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between them.
If making a loaf, pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (For rolls, this will likely be closer to 20 minutes and for a loaf closer to 25 minutes).
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
