Ingredients
To whip up this delightful Carrot Raisin Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups grated carrots (about 4 medium carrots)
- 1 cup raisins
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Carrot Raisin Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and eggs until smooth. Gradually add the grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts (if using) to the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
