Banana and Carrot loaf. Carrot banana bread is a new twist on the traditional banana bread recipe. I added two eggs and sprinkled the top with sanding sugar. My family ate the entire loaf.
I love how delicious and fluffy this loaf looks! Because both carrots and bananas have lots of moisture and if your bread takes longer (or shorter) than the time estimates I gave for baking, don't worry.
