Step‑by‑Step Instructions for MOIST Carrot Bread
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, dark brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon to make streusel. Mix until crumbly and set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. In another bowl, combine dark brown sugar, vegetable oil, and large eggs, whisking until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the freshly grated carrots into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the streusel on top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 to 70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Using room temperature eggs and oil helps the batter blend smoothly. Ensure carrots are finely grated to maximize moisture. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender crumb.
