Ingredients

• 2 medium, mashed Banana
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 0.5 cup Applesauce (unsweetened)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for infants over 12 months)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.25 cup Optional mix-ins (e.g., raisins, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, shredded carrots, applesauce, egg, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your muffins are light and fluffy.

Step 5

Fold in the milk to loosen the batter. If desired, stir in optional mix-ins like raisins, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve as a healthy snack or breakfast for toddlers and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week.
