Morning friends!!!! This PALEO CARROT CAKE BANANA BREAD with Vanilla Frosting is what I worked on yesterday, and after a couple rounds and lots of leftovers to give away, I nailed it. It’s most definitely one of THE yummiest things I’ve ever made. I know carrot cakes typically have cream cheese frostings, but since I don’t like cream cheese, I’m not creating a recipe with. And IMO, tastes so much better with vanilla frosting anyway!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 super ripe bananas
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¾ cup grated carrots (about 3)
- 2 tbsp Primal Palate apple pie spice (or 1 tb cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg)
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ¾ container Simple Mills vanilla frostingâ
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mash the banana well.
- Add the egg and coconut oil, and whisk until well combined and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, apple pie spice (or cinnamon/nutmeg), and salt.
- Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the carrots and the raisins.
- Pour batter into the loaf pan and use a spatula to make even.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting!
- Slice and get ready for pure bliss.

I’ve made these twice in mini loaf plans and they were delicious. I doubled the recipe ( for one of the times) and the baking time was a lot longer as the insides were a little too moist… Maybe too much carrot? Delicious none-the-less! Thankful for your blog, Nicole!! I always have success with your recipes.
Also, I’m always tempted to add a scoop or two of collagen to your recipes. If i do, is there anything else i need to do to off-set the collagen? Thanks in advance!
AMAZING i love her recipes. this one was so good.
