Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the honey and 1 tsp oil, then add the carrot and thyme. Season and stir well. Tip onto a baking tray and roast for 10-15 mins, tossing halfway through cooking. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
step 2

Meanwhile, combine the flours, baking powder, bicarb and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, yogurt and remaining oil. Add the flour mix, then fold in the roasted carrot mix.

Pour into a lined 900g loaf tin and bake for 50 mins-1 hr. Leave to cool before slicing. To serve, top with chutney and cheddar, cream cheese or honey.
