Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 c whole wheat flour
1 c sugar (replaced w/ brown sugar)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 c shredded carrots (only used 1 cup)
1/3 c chopped dried apricots
1/3 c sunflower kernels
1/3 c flaked coconuts
1/3 c mini chocolate chips
1 ripe banana, mashed
3 eggs
1 c vegetable oil (replaced w/applesauce)
2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda and cinnamon. Add the next 5 ingredients. Stir in the banana.
  • 2. Beat the eggs, oil and vanilla; stir into carrot mixture just until moistened. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • 3. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe bananas. This will ensure your muffins are moist and flavorful. The riper the bananas, the sweeter they will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature. This will help the muffins rise quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overbake the muffins. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean when it is done.

Conclusion:

These hearty morning muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are packed with oats, bananas, and nuts, which provide a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. They are also easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins are a great option.
