How to Make Carrot Raisin Quick Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups grated carrots, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup milk, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
