Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 bananas)
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: 1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, grated carrots, eggs, oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in nuts and raisins if using.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
  • This bread freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
