How to Make Carrot Bread: A Step-by-Step Guide

Carrot bread is a moist, flavorful treat that’s perfect for breakfast or snacks. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1½ tsp baking powder

- ½ tsp baking soda

- 1 tsp cinnamon

- ½ tsp salt

- 1½ cups grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)

- 1 cup sugar (or ¾ cup for less sweetness)

- ½ cup vegetable oil

- 2 large eggs

- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or applesauce

- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in yogurt/applesauce and grated carrots.

4. Blend Together: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently until just combined—don’t overmix. Add nuts if using.

5. Bake: Pour batter into the pan. Bake 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6. Cool: Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

- For extra moisture, add ½ cup crushed pineapple.

- Cream cheese frosting pairs perfectly!

- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
