Ingredients

  • 3 medium-sized ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups freshly grated carrots
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar or sugar-free sweetener of choice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Wash, dry, and peel the carrots. Then, use a box grater or food processor to grate them.
  • Add the bananas to a large bowl and thoroughly mash them with a fork or potato masher. Then, add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and grated carrots to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix these ingredients.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients a little at a time and mix. Make sure all of the ingredients are combined, but don't over-mix.
  • Lightly spray a nonstick silicone baking pan with oil. Then, pour the batter into the muffin pan, forming 12-14 muffins. Or, you can place muffin liners in the muffin pan and pour the batter into the liners.
  • Bake the muffins at 350℉ for 24-26 minutes. Once done, let the muffins cool, carefully remove them from the muffin pan, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container on the counter for 1-2 days or in the fridge for 3-4 days. Or, you can freeze these muffins for 1-2 months.
  • Don't Overfill The Muffin Pan: It is important to leave some space at the top of each muffin cup in your muffin pan so the muffins have room to rise. You don’t want the muffins to overflow.
  • Freshly Grate Carrots: Freshly grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Don't use pre-shredded carrots.
