Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 cup Carrots, grated
- 2 large Bananas, mashed
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.25 cups Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the grated carrots, and if using, add the chopped nuts and raisins.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Paleo Carrot Banana Muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast treat!
