How to Make Banana Carrot Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 ½ cups grated carrots.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy your delicious homemade banana carrot bread!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
