Healthy Banana-Carrot Oat Nut Muffins Recipe
I never like to throw away bananas, so with two very ripe bananas I adapted this recipe. They were moist and sweet and so easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup combination vegetable oil and unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed over-ripe bananas (2 bananas)
- 1 medium carrot grated
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix the first 8 dry ingredients. Whisk together.
- In a medium bowl whisk egg. Add milk, oil-butter combination, and vanilla. Whisk together.
- Add mashed banana and grated carrot to liquid and whisk. It's alright if the butter is a little lumpy.
- Pour liquid mixture into flour mixture. Stir till just combined.
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper bake cups. Divide the batter among them. (I use a large cookie scoop)
- Bake in preheated 375 oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. DON'T OVERBAKE!
