Instructions– Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and lightly grease a muffin tin.– Place the mashed bananas in a large bowl.– Add the sugar, oil, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flour, cinnamon, and gently mix together until well combined.
Instructions– Fold the carrots and walnuts (if using) into the batter.– Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.– Bake for 25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown.
Top Recipe Tips and Notes– Use overripe bananas: For natural sweetness allows you to reduce the amount of added sugar in the recipe.– Don’t over-mix the batter: This will overdevelop the gluten and can lead to dense, rubbery/gummy muffins.
