Banana Carrot Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup mashed banana ((2-3 bananas))
• 1 cup finely grated carrots
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre heat your oven to 375 F / 190 C / 170 C fan oven.

2. 2

   Mash bananas with a fork or a food processor. Peel and finely shred the carrots.

3. 3

   Combine the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl: mashed banana, shredded carrot, olive oil, honey, vanilla extract and eggs. Stir or whisk until the ingredients are combined.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet. This includes the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Use a spoon or spatula to combine, as this mixture will be quite thick. Stir until the ingredients are just incorporated.

5. 5

   Live a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners, and divide the muffin mixture between the liners. Try to make them evenly sized.

6. 6

   Optionally: top the muffins with a garnish, such as diced nuts, seeds or rolled oats.

7. 7

   Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffins come out clean.

8. 8

   Leave the muffins to rest for about 10 minutes to allow them to cool down before serving.
