Why Make This Recipe

Carrot muffins are a delightful and healthy treat that everyone will enjoy. They are moist, flavorful, and packed with good ingredients like carrots and nuts. These muffins make for an excellent breakfast or a quick snack throughout the day. Plus, they are easy to make, which means you can whip up a batch any time you want something sweet and wholesome.

How to Make Carrot Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
¾ cup whole wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
½ cup almond flour (spooned and leveled)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon sea salt
⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk
½ cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
2 large eggs (see note*)
½ cup cane sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups grated carrots
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins
¼ cup whole rolled oats (for sprinkling on top)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and sea salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, avocado oil, eggs, cane sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the grated carrots.
Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins.
Use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into the muffin cups.
Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched.
Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Serve Carrot Muffins

Carrot muffins are perfect on their own, but you can also serve them warm with a spread of butter or cream cheese for an extra touch. They pair nicely with a cup of tea or coffee, making for a delightful breakfast or snack.

How to Store Carrot Muffins

To keep your carrot muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They will stay good for up to three months. Thaw them at room temperature or heat them in the microwave before serving.

Tips to Make Carrot Muffins

Make sure to grate your carrots finely for a smoother texture in the muffins.
Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste. You can add more cinnamon or even a pinch of cloves.
If you prefer, you can use other nuts like pecans or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.
For a Vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs and ensure you use a plant-based milk alternative.

Variation

You can customize these carrot muffins by adding in different ingredients such as shredded coconut, apple sauce, or even chocolate chips for a treat.

FAQs

1. Can I use other types of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blends or oat flour. Just keep in mind that the texture may vary.

2. How can I make these muffins healthier?
You can reduce the amount of sugar or replace it with honey or maple syrup. Additionally, consider adding more grated fruits or vegetables like zucchini for added nutrients.

3. Can I make mini muffins instead?
Absolutely! Just reduce the baking time to about 10-12 minutes and keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
