Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with a little coconut oil. While the oven warms up, soak the raisins in some warm water for about 10 minutes to plump them up, then drain and chop them roughly. In a mixing bowl, cream together the coconut oil, butter, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, mashed bananas, applesauce, and grated carrot until everything is well combined. Next, gently fold in the flours, flax seed, chopped raisins, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract using a spatula—just mix until you don’t see any dry spots. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups and pop them in the oven. Bake for around 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins sit in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
