Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
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.
Slowly fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently incorporate the grated carrots, chopped nuts, and milk into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
