Recipe Information
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)
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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
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.
Stir in the mashed papaya, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix, as this may make the bread dense.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins (or dried fruit) gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
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.
Slice and serve your Papaya Bread II. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
