Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Grated carrots
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, grated carrots, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using walnuts, fold them gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake 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 about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
