Description
Fluffy and aromatic muffins packed with the sweet and slightly tart flavors of apples and the earthiness of carrots, spiced just right.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups white wheat flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup oats (old fashioned or 1-minute oats)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup oil (vegetable or canola)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup grated apple (1-2 apples)
- 1 cup grated carrot (2-3 carrots)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or spritzing it with a non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Whisk together for even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until most of the flour is incorporated.
- Fold in the grated carrots and apples until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
- Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tins, filling each section about three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve warm or with honey/maple syrup for added sweetness. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
