It is so annoying when, by the end of the week, there's just about one carrot and one or half of any other vegetable sitting idly in the fridge! Neither can you make a nice meal/salad out of it n neither can you eat it by itself.
Its almost weekend here and this morning when I dug into the fridge, I found this lone, sad little carrot and a few over ripe and half eaten bananas that Ariana refused to touch.
The easiest way to get the family to finish them quickly was to make something nice and fresh out of them.
We always need a variety and change for breakfasts; can never stick to just one or two dishes alternately. That's way to monotonous!
Couldn't think of better ingredients to bake something nice for breakfast, which isn't only tasty, but very healthy as well! This recipe has NO sugar and NO Butter / Oil at all and is made with wheat flour, barely takes about 30 minutes to make, including the baking time.
You couldn't start your day in a better way than with a hot cup of brewed coffee and freshly baked HEALTHY muffins!

In the large bowl which has the bananas and the egg, add the vanilla essence and blend well to make it a smooth puree.
Add the grated carrots to this and stir well.
Take a spoonful of the mixed flour and add it to the egg-banana puree.
Mix with a spatula using the shape-of-8 mixing method. This method ensures that the batter doesn't get over mixed, avoiding any gluten formation.
Once all the flour is added, stir it gently to make sure no dry lumps are hidden at the bottom of the bowl.
