Mom's Carrot Banana Bread

Mom's Carrot Banana Bread

I borrowed this recipe from my mom, and I have given away mini-breads for Christmas for several years. Everyone loves it!

Ingredients :

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 3 bananas, mashed
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 1 cup walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 4x8-inch loaf pans.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Beat brown sugar and butter together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir flour mixture, alternating with bananas, into creamed butter mixture just until batter is mixed; fold in carrots and walnuts. Pour into the prepared loaf pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
