Ingredients

  • 120 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • 90 g (6 ½ teaspoon) unsalted butter, room temp
  • 66 g ( cup) granulated sugar
  • 53 g (¼ cup) brown sugar
  • 1 egg, room temp
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 113 g (½ cup) mashed banana, about 1 very ripe medium banana
  • 113 g (1 cup) grated carrots, about 2 large carrots
  • 56 g (½ cup) finely chopped pecans, + more for topping
  • turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a muffin tin with 6 parchment liners spaced apart.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Lastly, gently fold in the mashed banana, grated carrots, and chopped pecans.
  • Divide the batter between the 6 parchment liners. I used a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion it and leave the batter domed on top. (See photo above)
  • Sprinkle each muffin with turbinado sugar and more chopped pecans.
  • Bake the muffins for 5 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down 10 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes.
  • Allow muffins to cool completely in the pan before removing.

Notes

  • Store the muffins in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
