Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups carrots, finely grated
• 0.75 cups raisins
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the well. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
