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.

Tips:

  • Before you start baking, make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature. This will help ensure that your carrot-banana bread bakes evenly.
  • Line the bottom of your loaf pan with parchment paper before you pour in the batter. This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan and make it easier to remove.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
  • Stir the carrots and bananas into the batter gently. This will help to evenly distribute them throughout the loaf.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes around 45 minutes to 50 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before you slice and serve it.

Conclusion:

This carrot-banana bread recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The combination of carrots, bananas, and spices creates a moist and flavorful bread that is sure to please everyone.
