As you have most likely read in another on of my articles my daughter is so picky when it comes to eats but she loves any kind of bread. So I am always to have different kinds of muffins with hidden nutrition in them around the house. Don’t think because they are good for a toddler doesn’t mean they are not yummy for you. They are like combining banana muffins and a carrot cake!

I made the boston cream pie and my husband thought it was very good..better than any store bought..a few steps but well worth the effort. Thank you. As I am getting ready to stock up my freezer with some more muffins and he stated that carrot sounded good, I am going to try your carrot-banana muffins since he also likes banana bread..I like to try odd combination as they are usually sure winners.
Im glad he loved it, it really is a great cake to have 🙂 The carrot ones are AMAZING! He will love them!
I love this recipe, make it all the time for my kids! They down them and I feel better that they are healthier. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
These were very good! I may cook them a little longer next time, as they were a bit too moist, but they were actually better the next day. My 3 yr old, who is an extremely picky eater, downed two of these in one sitting…I can finally get him to eat carrots. Thank you!
just wondering when you put the sugar in. Very frustrating!!! I am trying to start this recipe and now since I already have it half way together I’ll just guess.
Jody. Treat the sugar like it’s a wet ingredient or whipped with the egg then add the mashed banana and follow the recipe from there. Really, all I ever do is toss the whole lot together and go for broke. Lol I’m not one of these alternate wet and dry ingredients together when making muffins or cakes kind of gal. I’ve been baking for 30 plus years and my family hasn’t complained or died yet. Hahaha Best of luck.
I have some carrots already shredded. How many cups would be the equivalent of 3 carrots? Thanks!
around 1 cup.
These were delicious! I added a few chocolate chips to make them a little more enticing to my son. Thanks for a great recipe!
