Ingredients
- 2 banana mashed, very ripe
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1.5 cups carrot about 3 medium carrots. Do not use pre grated carrots, grated, 1 cup
- 2 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 and 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 and 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In one bowl, mash the bananas. Add the butter, maple syrup, apple sauce, eggs, and vanilla extract, mix well. Stir in grated carrots.
- In another bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just mixed. DO NOT over mix or your muffins will be tough. A few lumps are fine.
- Divide the batter between the 12 prepared muffin cups.
- Bake muffins at 425 for 5 minutes, then, leaving the muffins in the oven, reduce heat to 350 degrees.
- Bake at 350 for another 20-22 more minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Baking them at the higher temperature at first helps them rise and gives a nice rounded top.
- Remove from the oven and remove from the muffin tin as soon as possible. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or individually wrap and freeze for up to one month.
Notes
- For best results, use very ripe, brown bananas.
- Do not use pre grated carrots.
