Quick And Healthy Morning Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, divided 

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 

1 cup packed dark brown sugar 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt 

1 cup golden raisins 

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 

2 large eggs 

2/3 cup skim milk 

3 cups shredded carrots (about 8 carrots) 

2 medium ripe bananas, mashed 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 10 paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt until there are no lumps. Stir in 1 3/4 cups oats and raisins. Add oil, eggs, milk, carrots, and banana, and stir until blended, being careful to not overmix.

Fill each muffin cup with 3/4 cup batter. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup oats over muffins. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Serve muffins warm or at room temperature.
