Servings: persons

1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/2 cups Butter
3 whole Bananas, Cut Into Chunks
1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste
1-1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
1/4 cups Raisins
1/2 cups Honey
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 cups Carrots, Grated
2 cups Unbleached White Or Whole Wheat Flour

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
With a mixer, cream brown sugar and butter. Add bananas and mix until blended. Add vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins. Mix until blended.
3
Add honey, beaten eggs, and salt. Mix until blended.
4
In a bowl, add carrots and flour stirring, until carrots are coated with flour. Add flour and carrots to the mixing bowl. Mix until just blended (about one minute).
5
Pour bread mixture into a greased loaf pan (you can use spray or butter). Let bread sit for ten minutes and then bake for 50 minutes. After 50 minutes, lightly place a piece of foil over the loaf pan to prevent it from getting too brown. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for ten minutes and then remove to cool on a rack before slicing.

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

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
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.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
