I’ve been having such a hard time eating healthy. I love good, tasty food so much that it’s just so hard to stay away from foods that I know aren’t really good for me, because they taste so delicious! My husband on the other hand, is doing great! He’s been eating healthy since November and has already lost about 20 lbs! Although he’s been doing good, he does have a sweet tooth which is why he requested I make some healthy, yet tasty, muffins. He wanted something be can eat as a snack between meals.
I love coming up with my own recipes. This one took me just two tries, and they’re pretty tasty if I do say so myself. My kids and husband love them too! They are delicious right out of the oven, but taste find cold as well. I just made a batch tonight and put a little butter on it, and it was SO GOOD! I know, I know, butter takes away from the whole “Healthy” factor, BUT butter also makes everything better, right? My husband and girls are perfectly fine with eating theirs without any butter. I don’t need the butter either, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t taste better with a little butter on top!
This is a pretty simple recipe, and doesn’t take very long to prepare. If you’re looking for a healthy breakfast muffin the whole family will love, try these!

Love healthy muffin recipes and this one is especially good as it uses coconut oil. Can’t wait to get in the kitchen and bake.

My family loves banana muffins. If I can get them to eat carrots also, all the better for them.

I love all the ingredients. And I just started using coconut oil in my baking/cooking. I also substitute butter for applesauce instead. Love having a muffin with my morning coffee or tea.

Oh yumm!! I’ve never had bananas and carrots together. I have had carrots and pineapple though, so I think this is going to be one we try!

I made these this morning. I found them on Pinterest. I don’t think I have ever made muffins without an egg. They are tasty and healthy. Thanks!

Banana CARROT, that’s an interesting combination for a muffin. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of that, but may have to try.

When I think of baking I usually think of decadent sugary treats, it’s nice to have a recipe for a healthy treat. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
