Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons maple extract divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 tablespoon Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a small bowl mash bananas, set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer (or large mixing bowl for a hand mixer) add dark brown sugar and vegetable oil. Mix for 2 minutes.
- Add in eggs, 1 teaspoon maple extract and vanilla extract and mix until combine, about 1 minute.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, grated nutmeg and kosher salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add half the flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix just until combined.
- Add half the mashed bananas and mix just until combined.
- Repeat the last 2 steps.
- Fold in shredded carrots and gently mix until combined.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the center of the bread is fully cooked. Test this by putting a toothpick in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean the bread is fully cooked.
- Once the bread is fully baked let it rest for 10 minutes, carefully remove from the pan and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl add cream cheese, powdered sugar, remaining maple extract and vanilla bean paste.
- Mix until light and fluffy. If the mixture is too thin add more powdered sugar and if it's too thick add a teaspoon of milk.
- Spread the frosting on top of the bread and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
