NIF'S JUMBO BANANA CARROT MUFFINS



Nif's Jumbo Banana Carrot Muffins image

My boys go back to school tomorrow and I wanted to be prepared by having some food that they can grab on their way out. This is what I ended up with and they are moist and really good! My boys are teens so I made this recipe for the great big muffins, but adjust the time and amounts and you can make smaller ones. Also, you can exclude the raisins and replace them with nuts if you prefer. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 16 large muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 eggs
6 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups carrots, grated
1 cup raisins (not little dried up raisins!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a non-stick muffin tin OR I highly recommend using the silicone version of the pan for no spraying or sticking.
  • In a large bowl (I used my Cuisinart stand mixer with the paddle attachment), mix the oil, sugar and eggs completely. Add the mashed bananas and vanilla and mix again until incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture in 2 batches, stirring after each addition.
  • Stir in carrots and raisins.
  • Scoop 1/2 cup of batter into each muffin mold. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes and then remove from pan.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevent large chunks of carrot in your muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These jumbo banana carrot muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're packed with nutrients and flavor, and they're easy to make. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying treat, give these muffins a try!
