Chai-O-Rama Muffins (Sugar free)

Baking has been a love of mine over the years (both making AND eating!), and in my 'I Quit Sugar' weeks i had developed some muffins which have no added sugar, only natural sugars from fruits. Although making a raw transition i still enjoy baking and eating muffins, you can't beat liking a bowl! And am working on making  them healthier and sugar free :) Apart from my Banana-blueberry muffins, the other day i made some carrot and chai muffins which were a great success! So today i combined them in what i call a Chai-O-Rama Muffin! Make these and you will feel guilt free and they won't disappoint!!

2. Mix together mashed banana, grated apple and carrot, lightly beaten egg, water, and oil in a large bowl until combined. 

3. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder and Chai mix, the mixture will be quite lumpy but as long as there are no flour lumps it is good :)
