Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease 2 loaf pans with non-stick baking spray and set aside.

  2. Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and applesauce. Mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes until well combined.

  3. Add Ingredients: Stir in shredded carrots, fresh papaya puree, and nuts (if using). Mix for another 1-2 minutes until evenly distributed.

  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  5. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on medium speed for 1.5-2 minutes. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

  6. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly browned with a crack forming.

  7. Cool: Remove from the oven and cool the loaves in the pans for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Then, carefully remove them from the pans and cool completely on the wire rack.

  8. Store or Serve: Once cooled, wrap each loaf tightly in plastic wrap to maintain moisture. For gifting, consider using decorative wrap to enhance its presentation. Papaya Bread I also freezes well for future enjoyment.

Tips for Success

  • Papaya Preparation: Ensure your papaya is ripe for the best flavor. Puree it until smooth before adding to the batter.
  • Texture: Avoid overmixing once the dry ingredients are added to keep the bread light and airy.
  • Storage: Store wrapped loaves in an airtight container or freeze for up to several months.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy slices of Papaya Bread I plain or toasted, with a spread of butter or cream cheese for an added treat. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a delicious snack any time of day.
