My boys go back to school tomorrow and I wanted to be prepared by having some food that they can grab on their way out. This is what I ended up with and they are moist and really good! My boys are teens so I made this recipe for the great big muffins, but adjust the time and amounts and you can make smaller ones. Also, you can exclude the raisins and replace them with nuts if you prefer. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 16 large muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 eggs
6 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups carrots, grated
1 cup raisins (not little dried up raisins!)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a non-stick muffin tin OR I highly recommend using the silicone version of the pan for no spraying or sticking.
In a large bowl (I used my Cuisinart stand mixer with the paddle attachment), mix the oil, sugar and eggs completely. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla and mix again until incorporated.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture in 2 batches, stirring after each addition.
Stir in carrots and raisins.
Scoop 1/2 cup of batter into each muffin mold. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes and then remove from pan.

Tips:

Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots will give your muffins a lovely color and texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These jumbo banana carrot muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy carrot bits, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
