1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray or you can use 3 mini loaf pans instead. Set aside.
2
In a bowl, add flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined; set aside.
3
In a large bowl, add banana, sugar and applesauce; beat until combined. Beat in eggs. Stir in pecans, raisins and carrots; just until combined. Slowly stir in flour mixture, just until incorporated. Do not over mix.
4
Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and smooth the top. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes for a large loaf or 25 - 30 minutes for mini loaves. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread to test it. If it comes out clean the bread is done. Remove from oven.
5
Let the bread cool for about 10 minutes in the pan; then take it out of the pan and let it cool completely on a cooling rack.
6
To make the cream cheese frosting, in a mixing bowl beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Spread over cooled bread.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
