Description

This Carrot Apple Bread is a moist, flavorful loaf combining grated carrots and chopped apples with warm cinnamon and vanilla. Perfect as a breakfast treat or snack, this easy-to-make bread offers a delightful balance of sweetness and spice with a tender crumb that keeps it fresh and delicious.

Ingredients

Produce

  • 1 ½ cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup chopped apples

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute all leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined and slightly frothy. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing in until the batter is smooth.
  4. Add Fruits: Stir in the grated carrots and chopped apples thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly incorporated into the wet mixture.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring carefully until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make bread tough.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top for even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes to slightly set, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or raisins into the batter.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • If apples are particularly juicy, drain any excess liquid before adding to the batter to prevent sogginess.
  • Using Granny Smith apples can add a nice tart contrast to the sweetness.
