Carrot Oat Banana Walnut Muffins
Now seems like the perfect time to get back into baking! Tried these muffins out the other day, and they were delicious! Original recipe I saw used twice the amount of sugar, so I replaced half with a banana, and it was the perfect amount of sweet! You could also include raisins in this recipe as well, but I thought there was enough sweetness in these I omitted them.
Great muffins for breakfast or a snack. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
Ingredients
- 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 smashed banana
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup diced walnuts
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots, about 2 medium-large carrots
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the nuts.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and oil. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then mix in the grated carrots.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin pan, filling the muffin cups almost to the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You can use the toothpick method to make sure they are done. (Poke toothpick into the center of the muffin, and the toothpick should come out clean when they are done).
Enjoy !

I’ve heard applesauce or coconut can be a good substitute for a "vegan" egg – will try
Thanks for sharing, Emma! I keep McCann’s Irish Steel Cut oats in the pantry—is there any way these could be cooked & substitutes for rolled oats?
I can’t wait to make these! Do you think you could use sweet potato in place of the carrots? Thank you Emma 🙂
Hey Emma! Have you subbed the sugar for honey or maple syrup?
