There are no sweeteners added to this recipe other than whole fruit!
A twist on my classic Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins, this recipe adds a powerful veggie-punch and can easily be served for breakfast or to kids without worry since it uses mashed banana and NO SWEETENERS.

Ingredients
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (can be canned or fresh, if fresh, cook, cook, and strain excess water from your pumpkin before using it in this recipe)
- 1/2 cup butter, clarified butter/ghee, or coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 mashed banana
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 3 cups shredded carrots (app. 4 large carrots)
- optional: 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Whisk the eggs, pumpkin, butter or coconut oil, pure vanilla extract, and banana together in a large mixing bowl. Sift in the coconut flour, sea salt, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice and stir until well-combined. Gently fold in the carrots and optional raisins or cranberries.
In a muffin tin, scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into each lined muffin cup (natural parchment muffin papers work best for lining whereas standard papers may easily stick!).
Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Notes
Change it up!
- Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for crunch.
- If you don't have carrots, try adding shredded zucchini or sweet potato.
