Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Ripe papaya, mashed
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried fruit (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until the sugars are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the mashed papaya, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix, as this may make the bread dense.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins (or dried fruit) gently into the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level it out with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slice and serve your Papaya Bread II. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
