This week I ran out of bananas. This might not seem like the end of the world to people who fly by the seat of their pants when it comes to meals, but for me, it was a catastrophe. It's become my habit to eat half a banana before my workouts in the morning. For regular readers, this explains why most of my shakes contain half a banana (it's the other half, because I can't stand to see it getting brown on my counter). Okay, so I know what you're thinking "omg, does she think carrot muffins are a good replacement for the banana?" No no no. I just think they are a viable option in case of an emergency.
Paleo Carrot Muffins:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 6 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup raisins
Melt the coconut oil, then whisk with honey, eggs, and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl, then incorporate with wet ingredients. Fold in carrots and raisins. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
*This would also make a great loaf!
