This carrot cake banana bread recipe is super easy, extremely moist and is the perfect morning or afternoon tea slice. Lately I’ve been craving carrot cake but I also have a penchant for banana loaf!

So instead of making two different recipes I decided to combine the two.

We have been smashing this one including the kids for days. Also if you don’t have a loaf tin this bakes into great banana carrot muffins and since it’s packed with vegetables I figure it’s a good compromise treat!

Tips for a Delicious Carrot Cake Banana Bread:

Loaves tend to take a long time to bake, if in doubt, cover with tin foil and place back in the oven.
This recipe can be used as a muffin recipe, the cooking time reduces to approximately 15 - 20 mins.
Don’t over mix otherwise it will become more dry and dense.
