Banana Carrot Muffins YUM!



Well I am trying to save money by making things from scratch and not mixes. I am also trying to cut out unnecessary ingredients and dyes. Well that had lead me on a search for more yummy recipes! This one is a HUGE hit with the family! It takes some prep, like buy the bananas a week early so they are nice and brown when you are ready to use them. Also I get carrots on sale and buy a lot and then just spend an hour or so shredding them and putting them into plastic baggies and freezing them for later. But that is the two most time consuming parts of this recipe!

2 C white whole wheat flour or sprouted wheat flour.
1 t Baking Soda
½ t salt
½ t ground cinnamon
1 ¼ cups mashed bananas
1 C brown sugar
¼ C veg. oil
2 eggs
1 C finely grated carrots
½ C chopped pecans.

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Lightly grease pan or use muffin tins

Mix together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and set aside.

I a large mixing bowl combine the Banana’s, sugar, oil and eggs. Beat at Med speed. Stir in dry ingredients, then fold in carrots and nuts. Fill into muffin tins and bake for 25 to 28 mins.

Cool on rack, makes 12 muffins!
