Carrot, Date and Sage muffins (sugar and butter free)

I've discovered i like this challenge i have created myself of experimenting with ways to make baking both healthy, nutritious and tasty! It may sound impossible to some but i recently made some little muffins which i really like! They are derived from the Pumpkin and Sage recipe i posted, seeing as i didn't have pumpkin and i love carrots and dates i made a few substitutions :)

Carrot, Date and Sage muffins

1 cup white SR flour
3/4 cup of Oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground sage
1 tsp oregano flakes
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups mashed carrots and sweet potato (about 3 medium carrots and 1 small sweet potato chopped and cooked in the microwave until soft)
3/4 cup chopped pitted dates
1/4 cup Olive oil
1 tbsp white vinegar

Mix all the dry ingredients until well combined. Add the mashed carrot, sweet potato, chopped dates, olive oil and vinegar and stir but do not over mix. Scoop into prepared muffin tray and bake in preheated oven at 160 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean and lightly browned on top.

I like to leave the vegetables not totally mashed so there are still little lumps in the muffins. These are very quick to make!!
