  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups grated carrots about 4-6 carrots, depending on size
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a parchment paper sling or spray with baking spray.
  2. Whisk the sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla together in a large bowl. Stir in the grated carrots.
  3. Sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger over the wet ingredients. Add flour and walnuts, then stir by hand with a spatula or wooden spoon until combined.
  4. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, then bake for 55-65 minutes until a skewer or knife inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before turning out of the pan to cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Freezing: You can freeze the entire loaf or slice it first and freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter before serving.
