I love anything chocolate. Seriously, chocolate is always superior to me. It always comes first to any other sweet flavor. BUT... it might be different with these muffins.
I'm not sure what it is, but the combination of the banana with the honey is a winner. Also, we have added veggies from the carrots which is always a plus!
These muffins are sweetened naturally with pure honey. It browns the muffins beautifully and makes them taste almost caramelized. I can't explain it. Just make them.
We've been enjoying them for breakfast every morning, but they also make a great snack or even dessert with a cup of hot tea.
Ingredients in this recipe
- mashed spotty-brown bananas (about 2 ½ - 3 bananas)
- avocado oil
- pure honey
- pure vanilla extract
- eggs
- oat flour, gluten free if necessary
- almond flour
- ground cinnamon
- baking powder
- baking soda
- grated carrots (grate carrots with a box grater or use a food processor)
Expert Tips
- Use VERY ripe bananas opposed to yellow or green. The darker in color they are, the sweeter they will be.
- Spoon the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level off the top of the cup with a knife. Do not place the measuring cup into the bag and scoop. You could end up with more flour than needed.
- Don't overmix the batter. This can result in uneven baking and/or tough muffins.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ of the way with muffin batter.
- Keep the muffins as fresh as possible by storing them in an airtight container, on the kitchen counter for 3 days.
- Double the recipe and freeze these muffins to enjoy for weeks at a time!
- If you don't have ripe bananas on hand, use unsweetened applesauce.

I wish nutritional values were included.
I purposely do not provide nutritional information because numbers can be triggering for some. I want this to be a safe space for all. If interested, you can type the ingredients into an online calculator and find the nutritional info for any recipe. It’s also much more accurate since we probably use different brands.

Can I use whole wheat flour in place of the other flours? 🙂
Every flour has a different texture so you would need to play around with the measurements to obtain the right ratio.
