2 cups (290 g) low FODMAP gluten-free all-purpose flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour
1 cup (138 g) fine cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (165 ml) neutral flavored vegetable oil or liquid coconut
1/2 cup (99 g) sugar
1/2 cup (107 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3 medium (300 g) sized very ripe bananas
2 medium carrots, grated
3 tablespoons chia seeds
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Position rack in the center of your oven. Preheat to 350° F/180°C. Coat the insides and the tops of 18 standard sized muffin tins with nonstick spray.
Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
Whisk the oil, sugar and brown sugar in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Whisk in banana, carrots, chia and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir together gently just until combined, finishing off with a rubber spatula.
Scoop batter into muffins tins - we use an ice cream scoop - dividing equally. Bake for about 18 to 22 minutes. A toothpick should test clean when inserted in center; the tops will spring back when gently pressed.
Cool pan(s) on rack for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool further on rack. Muffins are ready to eat warm, or cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

We keep cornmeal in hand in heavy zip top bags in the freezer. This way we always have some when we need it.
