Ingredients
- ¾ cup wholemeal flour
- 1 ½ cups white flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup oil
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 cups mashed banana
- 2 cups grated carrot
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C. Prepare a 25cm x 25cm slice tin by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: wholemeal flour, white flour, baking soda, baking powder, and brown sugar.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the oil, milk, mashed banana, and grated carrot until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix to keep the slice tender.
- Pour the batter into your prepared tin, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 5cm x 5cm squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
