ABC-1 2 3 (APPLE, BANANA, CARROT) LOAF



ABC-1 2 3 (Apple, Banana, Carrot) Loaf image

This is my go-to banana bread I make to use up those brown bananas. I also peel and freeze overripe bananas and keep them until I feel like baking. Easy to bake, moist muffins or mini-loaf cakes, made with variety of ingredients you probably have on hand. Original recipe. I have used fewer bananas, more carrot or apple, etc, always with good results. I have made with double the sugar, which is a little too sweet for me. If you like your muffins sweet, add more sugar to taste. These keep well, but I never had to store them more than 3 days.

CARROT-BANANA OAT BREAD



Carrot-Banana Oat Bread image

So tasty and relatively good for you. I eat a square of it for breakfast with a little bit of yogurt and I feel spoiled!! Sometimes I use slightly less sugar (1/2 c)and it's still fabulous. Would also be good with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your bread tough and dense.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking. This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which makes for a more tender bread.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Test the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Carrot apple banana bread is a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and nutritious ingredients, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
