Carrot-banana muffins

Yield: 12 mini cupcakes

Ingredients

For batter

190 gr flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger (optional)
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
40 ml vegetable oil
80 gr butter (melted)
2 large eggs at room T
200 gr brown sugar
80 g bananas (mashed)
vanilla
200g grated carrots (about 3 large carrots)

Additional additives:

chopped nuts, raisins, chocolate, and almond petals for decoration

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C. Prepare forms. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a large bowl until smooth.

Mix both types of oil, eggs, sugar, banana puree, vanilla, and shredded carrots, until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently (don't overdo it). Add nuts if you like, or just sprinkle almond flakes on top.

Pour the dough into the prepared molds. Bake for approximately 50 minutes at 180C.

Bake times vary, so test your cupcakes for doneness with a wooden skewer (inserted in the center, it comes out clean with no raw batter). Cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Cover with frosting if desired.
