- Preheat oven to 325F, spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan(s) with cooking spray with flour (I use Pam for Baking) or grease and flour the pan(s); set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter, about 1 minute.
- To the melted butter, add the sugars, eggs, vanilla, and stir or whisk to combine.
- Add yogurt, bananas, carrots, pineapple (does not need to be squeezed and drained, some juice is okay and adds flavor), raisins, nuts, and stir to incorporate.
- Add the dry pudding mix (Note: You are not making pudding; simply adding the mix as a dry ingredient), add the cinnamon, and stir to incorporate.
- Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined, taking care not to over-mix or bread will be tougher as the gluten will over-develop.
- Pour batter into prepared pan(s) and bake for about 65 minutes (this is for one 9-by-5-inch loaf), or until top is golden and set, and a wooden skewer, cake tester, or knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If bread is browning a bit fast on the top, you may wish to lower your oven temperature to 300F midway through cooking, at about the 30-minute mark if your oven runs hot or tent the pan with foil in approximately the last 20 minutes of cooking.
- Allow bread to cool in the loaf pan for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring to a rack to finish cooling.
Pineapple Carrot Bread

My home is located in the Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania. This bread has the wonderful flavor of carrot cake, which is dearly loved in this part of the country. Because it's made with carrots, this bread is nutritious as well as economical-two important qualities in my home.
