Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot (use the small side of your grater)

1/4 cup 1/2 of a stick unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips + 3 tablespoons for topping

Steps:

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Add the 1/3 cup chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
  • Divide the batter between muffin tins - about 1 1/2 tablespoons each (I use a cookie scoop).
  • Sprinkle the tops with additional mini chocolate chips.
  • Bake for about 8-9 minutes, until muffins are no longer jiggly and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.

WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS



Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Muffins image

This is a favorite in our house. My daughter doesn't like fruity things in her muffins, so we started trying to make muffins she would love too. She is always left out when we make blueberry muffins. Using the larger bittersweet chocolate chips gives a very pronounced bite of chocolate. We've tried others chocolate chips, but we never like them quite as much.

Provided by Melissa Johnson

Categories     Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

Dry Ingredients
2 cups soft white whole wheat flour or 260g soft white winter wheat berries fresh-milled
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
2 eggs
⅓ cup light olive oil (70g)
1¼ cups packed brown sugar (250g)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (235g) (I used low fat)
Final Fold-In Ingredients
2 cups grated carrots (210g)
optional 1 cup walnuts (110g) or 1 cup raisins (160g)

Steps:

  • Weigh out 210 grams of peeled carrots, shred them in a food processor, and set them aside. This is about 2 cups of shredded carrots.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, thoroughly mix the wet ingredients.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and gently mix only until almost no flour is visible.
  • Fold in the shredded carrots. Then fold in the walnuts or the raisins if desired.
  • Move your oven shelf to one above the middle level and preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Prepare your muffin pans with 12-16 liners (the amount depends on additions like nuts and raisins) and fill each about 5/6 full of batter. This will seem like a high level but the batter is lumpy and it sinks a bit at the beginning stage of the bake.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes until edges are slightly browned and a toothpick poked in the center of a muffin comes out clean (little cake bits are okay, not goo).

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before eating them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These whole wheat carrot chocolate chip mini muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are made with whole wheat flour, carrots, chocolate chips, and sweetened with honey.
