Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Grated carrots
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts (or pecans)
• 0.25 cups Milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Slowly fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Gently incorporate the grated carrots, chopped nuts, and milk into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.

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 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

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