Carrot Cake Banana Bread

Deliciously moist and secretly healthy carrot cake banana bread that's perfect for breakfast or dessert!

Ingredients

• 2 cups white, spelt, or oat flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp salt
• optional 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cup mashed overripe banana (for banana free, try this Vegan Carrot Cake)
• 1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
• 1/4 cup milk of choice
• 1/4 cup oil OR additional milk of choice
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• optional crushed walnuts, coconut, etc.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x5 pan, or line with parchment. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. If desired, you can add 1/2 cup crushed walnuts and/or a handful of shredded coconut. Whisk liquid ingredients—including carrot and banana—in  separate bowl. Pour wet into dry, and stir to form a batter. Smooth into prepared pan. Bake on the center rack 37 minutes, then do not open the oven door at all but turn off the heat and let sit in the closed oven 10 additional minutes. If still undercooked at this time, simply turn the oven back on and continue baking—checking every 5 minutes–until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Taste and texture are much better the second day (and even better the third day as it gets sweeter). Leftovers can be sliced and frozen for up to a month. If you want to frost the bread, I included a few links to some frosting recipes above in the post, or you can use about 1/2 cup softened coconut butter—sweetened if desired.
