Ingredients
- Coconut oil (about 2 teaspoons, or as required)
- Handful of plump raisins
- A generous cup of warm water
- Softened coconut oil (approximately 1/4 cup)
- Softened butter (around 1/4 cup)
- Half a cup of rich brown sugar
- Beaten eggs (2 in number)
- Mashed ripe bananas (2 pieces)
- Delicate applesauce (4 1/2 ounces)
- Grated carrot shavings (roughly 2/3 cup)
- Bread flour (about 1/2 cup)
- Nutty whole-wheat flour (around 1/2 cup)
- Ground flax seed (1 tablespoon)
- Baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
- Pinch of salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- A hint of vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and generously greasing 12 muffin cups with a touch of delightful coconut oil, about 2 teaspoons should do the trick.
Step 2
In a small bowl, let the raisins bathe in warm water for approximately 10 minutes until plump and rejuvenated; then give them a good chop for added texture.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of coconut oil, butter, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Introduce eggs, mashed bananas, applesauce, and grated carrot into the mix, blending until everything is well combined.
Step 4
Next, gently incorporate the bread flour, whole-wheat flour, flax seed, chopped raisins, baking soda, salt, and a splash of vanilla extract into the banana mixture using a rubber spatula, ensuring all ingredients are harmoniously folded together. Carefully pour this luscious batter into the awaiting muffin cups.
Step 5
Allow the muffins to bake in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked to perfection, let them cool in the pans for a brief 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
