Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a muffin tin with 6 parchment liners spaced apart.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
4
Mix in the egg and vanilla until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
5
Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
6
Lastly, gently fold in the mashed banana, grated carrots, and chopped pecans.
7
Divide the batter between the 6 parchment liners. I used a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion it and leave the batter domed on top.
8
Sprinkle each muffin with turbinado sugar and more chopped pecans.
9
Bake the muffins for 5 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down 10 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes.
10
Allow muffins to cool completely in the pan before removing.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Use Extra-Ripe Bananas 🍌Select bananas with brown spots or even mostly brown skin—they contain more natural sugars and moisture, creating incredibly tender muffins without overmixing the batter.
- Shred Carrots Just Before Mixing 🥕Grate carrots immediately before folding into the batter to preserve their moisture and prevent excess liquid from making the muffins dense or soggy.
- Don't Overmix the Wet and Dry 🥄Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with just 10-12 gentle strokes—overmixing develops gluten and results in tough, dense muffins instead of tender, bakery-style domes.
- Fill Cups Strategically for High Domes ⛰️Fill muffin cups three-quarters full and place them on the middle oven rack; this allows proper heat circulation and encourages the signature tall, rounded muffin tops.
- Toast Pecans First for Depth 🌰Lightly toast your pecans for 5-7 minutes before chopping and folding them in to amplify their nutty flavor and add complex warmth that complements the warm spices.
