Description
Delicious carrot banana muffins made with oat flour, brown sugar, and dark chocolate chips—a perfect healthy treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups oat flour (180g, use certified gluten free oat flour to make these GF)
- ½ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 large eggs (room temperature if possible)
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 1–2 large carrots)
- 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2–3 bananas)
- ½ cup golden raisins (or regular raisins)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177°C). Prep a 12-count muffin tin by either spraying it with cooking spray or using muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl whisk the oat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Set aside.
- Grate the carrots using a box grater. Mash the bananas using either a potato masher or a fork until they are almost liquid.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, avocado oil, vanilla extract, carrots, and banana. Whisk it together until it’s well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients (the flour mixture) in with the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. I do this part gently with a spatula.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and golden raisins if using.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each ¾ of the way full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let them cool at least 10-15 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter or these carrot and banana muffins will turn out tough! You just need to stir in the dry ingredients until they are moist.
