Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granola
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 1.5 cups carrots, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cups chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granola, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, grated carrots, eggs, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until combined – do not overmix.
If using raisins or chopped nuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a pat of butter or your favorite spread!
