The selling point of most banana breads is using overripe bananas languishing in your fruit bowl. This banana carrot bread<\/strong> is a little different. Make it because it\u2019s the softest, moistest, and most successful loaf you\u2019ll ever bake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s pretty, with speckles of carrot orange peeking through, lending a delicate crunch to the crumb. For me, there's no better way to celebrate the natural sweetness of bananas and make yummy use of the last of our red winter carrots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients & Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/strong>: Compared to most desserts, carrot bread is healthy. Want to make it more so? I\u2019d leave out the all-purpose flour and go for 100% whole-wheat. The earthiness of it pairs excellently with bananas and carrots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: I love baking with raw sugar, but any sugar will do the trick here \u2013 cane, coconut, or plain, old, white sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan<\/strong>: Replace regular yogurt and milk with plant-based yogurt and milk to make vegan banana carrot bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil<\/strong>: I have used coconut oil here, but you can use regular vegetable oil or melted and cooled butter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts<\/strong>: Traditionally, it\u2019s raisins that are used in carrot bread, but I was all out of them. If you have them around, throw some in. However, walnuts add all the character you need to the loaf. You can use any nut you prefer.<\/strong> That is your choice, but I would urge you to add them. They really are the silent heroes of banana carrot bread. You can even try cranberries, black currants, or finely chopped dates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeds<\/strong>: For those allergic to nuts,<\/strong> seeds are a scrumptious substitute for making carrot bread hearty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frosting<\/strong>: Midway between bread and a dessert, this quick bread doesn\u2019t need anything more, but if you want to go the extra mile, try the cream cheese frosting <\/strong>I made for my coffee banana bread.<\/a> It\u2019s exquisite for a special event or celebratory mood. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
