Carrot Banana Bread
Description
This Carrot Banana Bread recipe starts by combining mashed bananas with mayonnaise and an egg to create a moist batter. The dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt to provide structure and leavening. Shredded carrots add subtle sweetness and moisture, while walnuts and coconut flakes introduce crunch and flavor complexity.
The bread is baked in a loaf pan at 350°F for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, resulting in a golden crust with a tender interior. The combination of banana and carrot creates a balanced sweetness and moist texture without relying heavily on added fats.
This bread stores well at room temperature in an airtight container for several days or can be tightly wrapped and stored up to a week. It also freezes well when individually wrapped for up to three months, making it practical for advance preparation or portioned snacks.
