In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Beat together the carrot mixture with the flour mixture. Stir in the oats and pecans.
NOTE: Bake all quick breads as soon as the ingredients are assembled. Since high temperature are often called for, it is best to bake them in the center of the oven, as the heat in the top third of the oven will be too intense.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and bake 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be sure and poke the toothpick already to the center of the loaf. A good check is to use an instant digital thermometer to test your bread. The internal temperatureof the bread should be at 200 degrees F. when done.
Remove bread from oven and cool on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely before slicing.
Storage: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or large re-plastic bags to prevent bread fro drying out. Store 3 days at room temperature. Freeze for longer storage.
Makes two (2) loaves.
