Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. Place the mashed bananas in a large bowl.
  3. Add the sugar, oil, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour, cinnamon, and gently mix together until well combined.
  4. Fold the carrots and walnuts (if using) into the batter.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas: For natural sweetness allows you to reduce the amount of added sugar in the recipe.
  • Don’t use too much flour: When using cup measurements, first fluff it up in the bag. Use a spoon to transfer it to the measuring cup, leveling it with the back of a knife.
  • Don’t over-mix the batter: This will overdevelop the gluten and can lead to dense, rubbery/gummy muffins.
