Equipment

  • oven
  • mixing bowl
  • Loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white, spelt, or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg optional
  • 1 ½ cup mashed overripe banana
  • ½ cup finely shredded carrot
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • ¼ cup milk of choice or water
  • ¼ cup oil or additional water
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • crushed walnuts, coconut, etc. optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5 pan, or line with parchment.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. If desired, add ½ cup crushed walnuts and/or a handful of shredded coconut.
  • Whisk liquid ingredients—including carrot and banana—in a separate bowl.
  • Pour wet into dry, and stir to form a batter. Smooth into prepared pan.
  • Bake on the center rack for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Let cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight for better taste and texture.
  • Leftovers can be sliced and frozen for up to a month.
  • If you want to frost the bread, use about ½ cup softened coconut butter, sweetened if desired.

Notes

Taste and texture are much better the second day (and even better the third day as it gets sweeter).
