Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup Danish Creamery Unsalted European butter
  • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 medium ripe bananas (mashed (about 1 cup))
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 1/2 medium)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Add the bananas, applesauce and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add dry ingredients and mix until no streaks remain. Fold in carrots and pecans until combined.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
