I love making this Easy Carrot Bread Recipe in the spring, summer and fall as it just looks “fall-ish!”
My kids, who do not love vegetables, saw me shredding all the carrots for this easy carrot bread.
“Mom are you making carrot cake with the awesome cream cheese frosting . . . or maybe that cream cheese icing the way grama makes it”?
They made some faces and said some derogatory phrases about how they would not like it when it was done; however, almost the whole carrot cake loaf went at dinner!
I was only disappointed because nothing was left for our afternoon snack.
Because it has two cups of shredded carrots, you can consider this a healthy bread! (Don’t look at the sugar! It has 2 cups of carrots in a small bowl!)
My mom takes this yummy bread often to Sunday School, and several people have asked for this easy recipe.
Friends making this moist carrot cake loaf for the first time remarked at how easy it is to make.
It is tried and tested!
Easy Carrot Bread Recipe
Baking Time Required: 1 hour, or until toothpick test comes out clean
Preheat oven @ 350°
Ingredients and Directions:
Mix together:
- 2 cups grated carrots Banana
- Option: add 2 or 3 bananas for a subtle twist to create Carrot Banana Bread
- 3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional — I left out as my children do not like nuts.)
Let stand.
Mix dry ingredients together with wet ingredients in a large bowl:
- 1 cup sugar (Option: brown sugar – I try to avoid white sugar)
- 2/3 cup salad oil (option to substitute vegetable oil coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups flour (Option: whole wheat flour or all purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- One teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Option: 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Fold in carrot and nut mixture and pour batter into a 4-inch loaf pan (optional: prepare the pan with some cooking spray)
Option: Make carrot cake cupcakes by simply adding your mixture to a cupcake pan to get that carrot cake flavor in bite size servings.
Bake 1 hour at 350° or until toothpick test comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, remove from loaf pan and place on a wire rack.

I love carrot cake so carrot bread would be equally interesting to try! This is really a great way to sneak veggies into treats for kids.

I’ve made this two days in a row now! We love it. I did add a hand full of pecans and less than a cup of chocolate chips.

Tammy, your recipe of Carrot Bread is very similar to my carrot cake recipe which is to die for. I would like to know what size pan you use to make the carrot bread. Also, 1 hour sounds like a very long time for a small loaf. Are you sure that is correct?? Please let me know as I would love to try this. Thanks for sharing!!

This really is a great tip for children who do not like vegetables and vegetables like mine, who knows giving a loaf, which they love, with carrot they do not fill this lack, when I already like bread even and with carrot then It must be a wonder I’m going to do here for the little gallery.

Made it this weekend. It was great. My partner is tired of me saying so.
I did neglect spraying the loaf pan. Won’t make the same mistake again.Log in to Reply

I almost didn’t try this recipe because all but one review was from people that hadn’t even tried it – just, pinning for later, must try, looks good etc and that doesn’t tell anyone about how well (or not) a recipe comes out. Having done my little rant about my biggest pet peeve (sorry but had it get it out lol) I’m glad i DID try it because it is delicious! I was a bit worried with the amount of oil called for wondering if it would have a bit of a greasy aftertaste but its wonderful! I didn’t have any pecans in the house – I NEVER use walnuts but that’s just my preference so I tossed in some raisins instead. I think next time I might try adding some very well drained crushed pineapple too – my favorite carrot cake recipe calls for it and I love the combination. Thanks for a great recipe 🙂
