Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 14 to 16 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for the pan (see Cook's Note)
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut, and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

Time 55m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups grated peeled apples (about 1 large apple)
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup flaked coconut
1/3 cup shredded carrot
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine in a large bowl flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In separate bowl mix oil, eggs and vanilla.

  • Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Makes 12 muffins.

Tips:

  • Before beginning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. This will ensure even baking and easy removal of the muffins.
  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily grate the carrots. This will save time and effort.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the carrots by hand using a box grater. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend well into the batter.
  • For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter. You can also drizzle a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the muffins after they have cooled.
  • For a healthier muffin, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These carrot muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are packed with healthy ingredients like carrots, oats, and walnuts, and they are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. These muffins are also easy to make, and they can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these carrot muffins a try.
