Delightful mini muffins infused with the natural sweetness of bananas and applesauce, and packed with nutritious grated carrots. Perfect for a snack or breakfast option.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup.
  2. Mix the applesauce, mashed banana, and grated carrots in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in another bowl until well mixed.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs to the batter and mix until smooth.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to mix until just combined to prevent tough muffins. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
