This simple loaf smells like banana bread. But, it tastes more like carrot cake.
Carrot Banana Bread
makes one full-sized loaf
2 carrots
2 bananas
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups AP flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
In a food processor, pulse carrots until very finely chopped. Add bananas, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Pulse until well-combined. Briefly, set aside.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and fine sea salt in a large bowl. Stir vigorously with a fork. Add wet ingredients. Stir gently and briefly… just until combined.
Pour batter into buttered loaf pan and place in preheated oven. Bake at 350 degrees F for 55-60 minutes.
That looks so juicy! I like how carrots provide enough moisture to make some really nice bread. Good idea to mix it with bananas, but i would make sure to use only overripe ones, to make the bread really sweet. Or alternativly, serve with some nice jelly.
I agree, Joy… very ripe bananas are best for baking.
