Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 c whole wheat flour
1 1/4 c oatmeal (or other whole grain)
1/4 c brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ginger (fresh or powdered)
2 c ripe bananas, mashed (about 4 medium)
2/3 c applesauce
1/3 c carrot
1 large egg
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1/3 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 c raisins

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375. Line muffin pan with cups, if desired. Spray pan or liners with vegetable spray. Spraying the paper liners a bit, makes it easier to pull off the paper without taking the whole muffin with it!
  • 2. Combine first 8 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.
  • 3. In a separate smaller bowl combine next 5 ingredients (bananas - butter), stir until well blended.
  • 4. In another separate small bowl, combine next 6 ingredients (almonds - nutmeg) for muffin topping.
  • 5. Add banana mixture to the flour mixture along with the raisins, if you desire.
  • 6. STIR JUST UNTIL MOISTENED. Do not over stir.
  • 7. Fill muffin cups 2/3 way full.
  • 8. Press enough of the brown sugar-nut topping into each muffin to cover the top, and to your taste. About 2 Tbsp. per muffin.
  • 9. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, until the muffin springs back when lightly touched.
  • 10. Makes 16 small muffins, or 8 giant-sized muffins.
