Ingredients
Scale
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a bowl, mix the mashed bananas, grated carrots, sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in walnuts if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Once the bread is cool, spread the frosting generously on top.
Notes
This banana bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for later.
