Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup carrot finely shredded
  • 1 cup apple shredded
  • 1 cup ripe banana mashed
  • 2 eggs large
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp honey

  • ¼ tsp cinnamon powder optional
  • 1¼ cup flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.

  • Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
  • Stir in the baking powder, cinnamon powder (optional), and flour, mixing until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

  • Enjoy the muffins warm or let them cool completely.

Notes

"Fibre is the essential component of this snack since the star ingredients come from fruits and vegetables. While muffins are already a favourite amongst children, making them healthier sets this snack apart."
- Columbia Asia Hospital – Cheras Dietitian, Syahirah Azizi
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
