Banana Carrot Muffins



 












Breakfast Today = Banana Carrot Muffins

What do you do when your up before the rest of the world? This morning I made banana carrot muffins for breakfast.

Was a nice change from the smoothies that I've been having and if your going to have a fruit muffin or fruity anything, the best time of the day is in the morning. Also, its important to have a lasting feeling of satisfaction by balancing those sugar levels- the eggs and walnuts nuts in this recipe can help with that.

They are yummy little grain-less muffins but were a bit too sweet for me actually. Probably could have done with just the bananas and dates for sweetening and minus the extra honey - less sugar! even better!!!

Recipe:
(12 muffins)

 2 Small bananas
 2 eggs
 1/4 cup coconut oil
 1/4 cup coconut flour
 1/2 finely crushed walnuts
 1/2 carrot (grated with the smaller hole)
 6 dates cut int tiny pieces (or 1/4 raisins)

 1 teaspoon baking powder
 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

 1) preheat oven to 180 C
 2) beat eggs and melt oil
 3) mash bananas and mix in beaten eggs and melted coconut oil
 4) add in coconut flour, baking powder and apple cider vinegar and blend well
 5) fold in walnuts, dates and carrots
 6) pour into muffin trays and cook for ten minutes or until done
 7) top it off with unsweetened yoghurt with banana slices and/or walnuts :)
