Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups grated carrots
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup chopped dried pineapple
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, chopped dried pineapple, and chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices as-is, or spread with butter or cream cheese if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
