Time 45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup canola oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup uncooked rolled oats
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup raisins
2 cups shredded carrots
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved
¼ cup softened cream cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease muffin tins.
  • In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and add white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix just until evenly moist. Fold in the oats, coconut, raisins, carrots, and pineapple.
  • In a bowl, blend the reserved pineapple juice and cream cheese. Fill each muffin cup about 1/2 full with the muffin batter, reserving about 1/3 of the batter. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the muffin cups. Top with remaining batter, so that each muffin cup is about 2/3 full.
  • Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour (can sub 1 cup for whole wheat flour or all for white whole wheat flour)
1 cup rolled oats + a couple extra tablespoons for topping
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup milk (can substitute unsweetened almond milk)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce*
1/3 cup canola oil
1 large egg
2-3 medium carrots (finely grated (about 2 cups))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or place cupcake wrappers in a standard-size, 12-cup muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, brown sugar, canola oil, egg, and carrots.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk just until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Divide the mixture between the muffin cups. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this - so easy! Cups should be filled just about to the top.
  • Bake until muffin tops spring back when poked and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20-22 minutes
  • Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
  • Serve plain or with butter (or vegan butter) if desired.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 - 3 days or freeze.

This recipe is from the book, "Devil's Food Cake Murder", by Joanne Fluke.

Provided by Tam D

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 c flour
1 c oats, quick cooking
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/2 c brown sugar
3/4 c finely shredded carrots, packed
1/2 c golden raisins
1/2 c milk
1 egg, beaten
5 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375*. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with food release spray. Set aside.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl combine the flour and oats. Sprinkle in the baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Mix thoroughly.
  • 3. Stir in the brown sugar, mixing until well blended. Set aside.
  • 4. Shred the carrots -- a fine shred is best. Add the shredded carrots and the raisins to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  • 5. In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  • 6. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently, just until combined.
  • 7. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 375* for 20-25 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.
  • 8. Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Slide the blade of a knife around the edge of the cups to loosen the muffins, and gently pry them out. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 9. NOTES: 1) I recommend a DeMarle muffin pan! 2) If you don't have cardamom, just use all cinnamon. 3) You can use regular raisins if you don't have golden.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 carrot, grated
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • In large bowl, whisk together flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • In separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, oil and vanilla; pour over dry ingredients. Sprinkle with carrot and walnuts (if using); stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Spoon into 12 paper-lined or greased muffin cups.
  • Bake in centre of 375F oven for about 20 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool completely.
  • Apple Raisin Oatmeal Muffins: replace carrot with 1 apple, peeled and grated; replace walnuts with 1/2 cup raisins.
  • Tropical Fruit Oatmeal Muffins: replace carrot with 3/4 cup mixed dried tropical fruit (chopped into 1/2 inch pieces if necessary); replace walnuts with 1/4 cup shredded coconut.

Tips:

  • Use ripe carrots: Sweeter carrots will result in sweeter muffins. Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color.
  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
  • Use old-fashioned oats: These oats have a heartier texture and more flavor than quick-cooking oats.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short time: This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help them set and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These carrot oatmeal muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their combination of carrots, oats, and spices, these muffins are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these carrot oatmeal muffins a try!
