Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Quickbread

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cup sour cream (lite is okay; or Greek yogurt may be substituted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus additional if necessary (see step 4 in directions)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 cup coarsely grated carrots, laid loosely in cup and not packed (don't wring out)
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (from about 2 medium/large bananas)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside.
  • To a large bowl, add the the first six ingredients, through vanilla, and whisk to combine.
  • Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined; don't overmix.
  • Add the carrots (grate them on the coarsest blade of a box grater), bananas, and stir to combine. The batter should be quick thick but because all carrots and bananas vary in their moisture content, you may need to add 1/4 cup additional flour. If in doubt, add flour.
  • Turn batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 53 to 63 minutes (I baked 60 minutes) or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.
  • Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
