Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup grated carrots
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until the wet ingredients are completely blended.
- Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Fold the grated carrots and chopped walnuts into the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle additional chopped walnuts on top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Store the bread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
