I received this from my mother-in-law and it's become my favorite banana bread recipe. The carrots add a special touch.

Very tasty! Carrots must subdue strong banana flavor. I made 12 mini muffins and one loaf in a smaller pan.

Delicious! I doubled the cinnamon and used 1 cup whole wheat flour + 1 cup all purpose flour. And I used walnuts instead of pecans. So good! One of the best banana breads I've made.

The shredded carrots really make this delectable bread moist. I love the flavor and make several loaves at a time so I can share with friends and family :)

I am not fond of banana bread but this Carrot Banana bread is wonderful, the banana taste is not prominent. I have made it many times and have passed this recipe around.

I LIKE THAT IT HAS CARROTS IN IT! ANYWHERE YOU CAN ADD EXTRA VEGGIES IS A PLUS. YOU CAN'T REALLY TASTE THE CARROTS, BUT I LIKED IT BETTER THAN REGULAR OLD BANANA BREAD! I USED WALNUTS BECAUSE THATS WHAT I HAD. I WILL MAKE THIS RECIPE AGAIN!
