Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

In another bowl, mix the sugar and oil until combined. Then add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. It’s fine to have a few lumps.

Gently stir in the grated carrots and any optional mix-ins like walnuts or raisins.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
