Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin pan with paper, foil, or silicone liners, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
- In a large bowl fitted with an electric whisk (or beaters), mix the butter, honey, egg, and vanilla together on medium speed. Turn down the speed and slowly add in the flour mixture until well-combined. The batter will be fairly thick.
- 4. Using a spatula, carefully fold in applesauce and carrots. Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and muffins are beginning to turn golden brown on top.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your muffins.
- Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help them hold their shape.
