Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3–4 medium)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded carrots gently using a rubber spatula.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans and bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pans before transferring to wire racks.
  6. For frosting, beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth; gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
  7. Once cooled completely, frost each loaf generously with cream cheese frosting and sprinkle with crushed pecans.
