Instructions
- Prepare. Gather your ingredients and if you have not done so, grate your carrots and mash your bananas. Also, preheat your oven to 350 and prep your muffin pan for nonstick.
- Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar alternative, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg). Mix until well combined. Then make a shallow well (about halfway down) in the center of the mixture.
- Wet Ingredients. Next, in another bowl, combine together the oil, egg, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until well combined. Then, stir in the mashed bananas and grated carrots.
- Combine. Pour the mixture from the last step (wet ingredients)into the shallow well in the first bowl ) with the dry ingredients and use a rubber spatula to fold this mixture into the ingredients until just combined (do not overmix)
- Bake. Use a cookie scoop to distribute the batter into the muffin cups about three fourths of the way full. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown and the center (of one or two muffins) passes the toothpick test.
- Serve. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them sit for a couple of minutes in the pan before transferring them to a cooling rack to further cool before serving.
