I’ve already posted Carrot Cake Oatmeal, Waffles, and Healthy Carrot Cake, so this year I decided to change the flavor to one of my favorite flavors: Banana Bread.

How to make carrot cake and banana bread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×5 loaf pan with oil or line bottom of pan with parchment paper.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well. If desired, you can add a half cup of crushed walnuts or chopped coconut.
In another bowl, whisk all remaining ingredients, including chopped carrots and bananas. Alternatively, you can technically save time and whisk them directly into the dry ingredients to form a batter.
Smooth batter into prepared loaf pan. Place on rack in center of oven and bake for 45 minutes or until carrot-banana bread is nearly clean with a toothpick stuck in center.
Let the bread cool completely before circling the sides with a knife. Invert onto a large serving plate and frost if desired.
Cooking and storage tips
Cover loosely with a cloth or paper towel and store on the counter or in the refrigerator overnight.
The taste and texture of this bread will be even better the next day as the excess moisture will evaporate, resulting in a fluffy bread.
After a day, leftovers are best placed in a covered container and refrigerated for 3 to 4 days.
