Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour a bread loaf pan, ensuring it’s well coated to prevent sticking.

Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, grated carrots, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. This helps to ensure there are no lumps and the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared bread loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
