3. In a large bowl, whisk together the banana, eggs, oil, milk, sugar and vanilla.
4. Sift flour and cinnamon over the banana mixture.  Add carrot and gently mix together.  Be careful not to mix too much or the muffins will be tough.

6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when lightly touched.
7. Cool on a wire rack.

Carrot and Banana Muffins

To make these muffins even more Easterish (I'm sure that's a word), we iced them with Cream Cheese Icing and used fruit stick lollies and mini marshallows to make carrot and flower decorations.

Cream Cheese Icing
Beat 30 grams soft butter and 80 grams soft cream cheese in a small bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Gradually beat in 240g (1 1/2 cups) icing sugar.
