Good Morning Muffins

1 and 1/4 cups all purpose unbleached flour (may substitute half with whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup old-fashioned oats (not quick oats)
1/2 cup raisins
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large egg
1/3 cup skim milk
4 medium carrots, shredded
1 medium ripe banana, mashed or chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a 12 cup muffin tin with oil. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg and salt until there are no lumps. Stir in oats and raisins. Add oil, egg, milk, carrots and banana and stir until blended.

Fill each muffin cup with 1/4 cup batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, or approx. 20-23 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.

You may substitute 1/2 cup natural ( no sugar) applesauce for the bananas.
