How to Make Carrot Bread

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ginger, and ground nutmeg.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, vegetable oil, grated apple, grated carrots, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir the flour mixture into the carrot mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid overbaking to maintain moisture.
6. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5-7 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto the wire rack and gently roll the bread over. Let it cool completely for 2-3 hours before slicing.
