Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: water, oil or butter, vanilla extract, and egg (or flax egg).
  4. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the shredded carrots, and mix in any optional ingredients like raisins or walnuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
