Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs, large
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins (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, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, and if desired, the chopped walnuts and raisins.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Serve plain or with a smear of cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
