Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Shredded carrots
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded carrots and fresh thyme leaves, ensuring they are 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 45-50 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 warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, cream cheese, or as is!
