Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 medium Bananas, ripe and mashed
• 1 cup Shredded carrot
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.3 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the shredded carrot, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix the batter until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If using nuts and/or dried fruit, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy immediately or store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months for a quick breakfast option.
