Banana Carrot Muffins – Naturally Sweet, Soft & Spiced!
These muffins bring the best of both worlds—naturally sweet bananas and freshly grated carrots baked into a soft, fluffy bite. A subtle hint of cinnamon and vanilla adds warmth, while a light crunch from walnuts (optional) makes each bite even more satisfying. Whether you’re meal-prepping for the week or need a quick treat on the go, these muffins are a nourishing and flavorful option you’ll want to make again and again!

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line or lightly grease a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas.
Add 2 eggs, 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or butter), 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 2

Combine the Dry Ingredients: Stir in 1 cup grated carrots.
In a separate bowl, mix:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt

Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 3

Fill & Bake:

Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out dry.
After baking, let sit in the pan for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack.

✔️ Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness.
✔️ Don’t overmix the batter—just until combined for a light texture.
