Banana + carrot bread
torn yesterday between baking banana bread or a carrot cake, i decided to experiment and make a mix of the two. thankfully it turned out pretty darn delicious!! it made a great breakfast treat too :) moist enough to enjoy as it is, i think it’d also be tasty spread with a little butter.
you’ll need
3 overripe bananas, mashed
2 eggs
100g melted butter
2 largeish carrots, grated
200g self-raising flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
mix the flour, baking powder, spices and carrots together in a bowl. beat the eggs together with the melted butter and banana.
pour the wet onto the dry, mix until just combined. pour into a greased loaf tin.
bake at 180 degrees celsius//gas mark 4 for around 1 hour. allow to cool and enjoy!
