I found that recipe on line - that is the way it was printed - no mention of eggs at all. I would add 2 eggs to use as a binder.

I made the chocolate carrot bread it was ok but seemed to be more cake like than a bread I just used a glaze on it but they will eat it anyway I think I might try a few other things in it I will just play around with it.

I know you don't want to put chocolate chips in it - but have you thought of melting the chips and adding them to a carrot chocolate chip bread recipe?
