Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 1 cup Carrots, finely grated
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the grated carrots and rolled oats.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the bowl with the banana, carrot, and oat mixture.

Step 6

Slowly fold in the dry ingredients until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If using walnuts, pecans, or raisins, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
