Carrot Cake Banana Bread

Homemade banana bread will forever be my favorite, even when I don’t think it is. Because as soon as I eat a bite, I’m once again obsessed. This carrot cake banana bread is made with coconut, raisins, carrots, and cinnamon, making it super flavorful and chock full of goodness.

I absolutely LOVED the texture of this bread—soft, moist, and light. It makes for a perfect breakfast to snack on while drinking your morning coffee or tea.

How to make banana bread

I love how easy it is to make homemade banana bread. You just have to chuck all the ingredients into a bowl, give it a good stir, pour it all into a loaf pan, and pop it into the oven. Honestly, the only downside of making your own banana bread is that it takes a whole hour to bake. (I’ve never been the most patient person, what can I say?).

To make this carrot cake banana bread, you’ll first need to combine the mashed bananas, grated carrots, crushed pineapple, coconut flakes, raisins, walnuts, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. (I realize this sounds like a ton of ingredients, but I bet you have most of it on hand already!).
