Servings: 16 -18 muffins
Calories: 145kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup carrots shredded (~2 medium)
- 3/4 cup mashed bananas ~2 large
- 1/2 cup pecan chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line approximately 16 muffin tins.
- Stir together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just mixed. The batter will seem extra thick - don't worry! Gently stir in the shredded carrot and mashed banana.
- Scoop batter into muffin tins, approximately 2/3 full. Top each muffin with approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons pecan chips. Bake for 15-20 minutes until muffins bounce back when lightly touched and/or a toothpick comes out clean.
- Serve warm. Let any leftovers cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Notes
Update: Looking to reduce sugar? You can reduce the granulated sugar amount by half (or reduce each by half), per several reader suggestions, with good results. I would recommend using both granulated and brown sugar for texture purposes. The original recipe is as written above.
