Carrot Banana Bread
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large bananas)
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
Stir in the mashed bananas and grated carrots until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
