Banana Carrot Muffins
These guilt-free carrot-banana muffins make the perfect late-night snack or nutritious addition to a brunch gathering! I myself like these as a pre or post workout/run snack. Just the right amount of carbs and under 200 calories! 157 to be exact! ;) I will say this.... these should be eaten in moderation!
Banana Carrot Muffins
Ingredients:
2 bananas
2 medium carrots
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
pinch salt (about 1/8 tsp)
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Peel and mash the bananas. Peel and grate the carrots. Chop the pecans coarsely. Beat the eggs, coconut palm sugar, and salt with a mixer for 3 min., or until light and airy. Sift the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon over the egg mixture and fold to combine. Mix in the bananas, carrots, and pecans.
Line each cup in a muffin tin with paper baking cups. Pour the batter evenly among the 12 cups. Bake for about 20 min., or until muffins are cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
