Instructions

Preheat the oven

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

Combine wet ingredients

In another bowl, beat eggs and add oil and vanilla. Mix until well combined.

Combine mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fold in carrots and pineapple

Pro tip: Ensure even distribution throughout the batter.

Bake the bread

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

Pro tip: If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil.

Cool the bread

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling completely ensures easy slicing.
