Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Pro tip: Ensure even coating to prevent sticking.

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Pro tip: Sift the dry ingredients for a lighter loaf.

Combine wet ingredients

In another bowl, beat the eggs until light. Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Pro tip: Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification.

Incorporate fruits and nuts

Fold in grated carrots, grated apple, raisins, and walnuts into the wet ingredients.

Pro tip: Gently fold to avoid over-mixing which can lead to a dense bread.

Combine all ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Bake the bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Pro tip: Check after 45 minutes to prevent overbaking.

Cool the bread

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on a rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.

Prepare whipped butter

In a small bowl, whip the softened butter with honey and cinnamon until light and fluffy.

Pro tip: Use a hand mixer for ease and consistency.
