  • Set the Oven to 180°C
  • Combine all the dry ingredients marked with ★ next to it in a large bowl. Set aside
  • Take the banana chunks, grated carrot, milk and optional maple syrup. Pop them in a blender and blend until almost smooth. I like to leave a bit of texture

  • Pour the mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients in 3 parts, mixing as little as possible (otherwise the muffins will become heavy)

Notes

Muffin Cases VS Butter Lined Tin: If you prefer not to use butter, place muffin cases into the tin, then  pour in the mixture.
 
Storage: Make sure the muffins have completely cooled down, then store in an air tight container or freeze in a tupperware or sealed bag.
Consume within 3 months.
 
Heat Up:  Microwave for 40-50 seconds.
 
Make It Sweeter For Older Kids and Adults -  Add the Optional 50ml of maple syrup or even up to 70ml for a sweeter taste.
