How to Make Carrot Cake Banana Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg) in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk together all the liquid ingredients including mashed bananas, grated carrot, oil, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and gently stir until smooth, with a few lumps remaining.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool the bread in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack for perfect slicing.
