Step-by-Step Instructions for Carrot Cake Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5 loaf pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and optional nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash bananas then add shredded carrots, sweetener, milk, oil, and vanilla; whisk until combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top; optional toppings can be added now.
  6. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate to cool completely.
  8. For enhanced flavor, consider refrigerating overnight before slicing.
