Carrot and poppy seed muffins are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of carrots with the nutty flavor of poppy seeds. These muffins are moist and fluffy, with a tender crumb and a golden-brown crust. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, and they're also a great way to use up leftover carrots.

This article provides two recipes for carrot and poppy seed muffins: a classic version and a vegan version. The classic recipe uses all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, butter, milk, carrots, and poppy seeds. The vegan recipe uses oat flour, maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, salt, flax eggs, coconut oil, almond milk, carrots, and poppy seeds.

Both recipes are easy to follow and can be made in about an hour. The muffins are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Carrot and poppy seed muffins can be enjoyed plain, or they can be topped with a variety of frostings or glazes. Cream cheese frosting, maple glaze, or orange glaze are all delicious options. These muffins are also a great addition to a brunch or potluck, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.

POPPY SEED MUFFINS

Meet the Cook: Because these muffins are a bit heavier than many of the snack type, they are perfect for when you wake up hungry. They're quick and easy, too. I adapted them from a poppy seed quick bread I was served once at a neighbor's. My husband and I are the parents of three sons - 16, 15, and 12. -Kathy Smith, Granger, Indiana

LEMON-POPPY SEED ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Lemon-Poppy Seed Zucchini Muffins image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (not Greek)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup packed grated zucchini (about 1 zucchini)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemon in wide strips, being careful not to remove the white pith. Combine the lemon zest and sugar in a food processor and process until the zest is finely chopped, scraping the bowl halfway through, about 1 minute. Stir in the poppy seeds. Scoop out 3 tablespoons of the lemon-poppy seed sugar and set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the remaining lemon-poppy seed sugar, the vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl; stir into the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the zucchini.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Tap the bottom of the pan lightly on the counter to smooth out the batter. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the reserved lemon-poppy seed sugar. Bake until the muffins are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 23 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

POPPY SEED MUFFINS



Poppy Seed Muffins image

These are the best muffins I have ever made. They are not low-fat but I don't worry. (I can watch other stuff - these are too good) I make them in the jumbo muffin pans but they will work in the normal size - just adjust the baking time.

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 eggs
2 ½ cups white sugar
1 ⅛ cups vegetable oil
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ tablespoons poppy seeds
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup orange juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Beat together the eggs, 2 1/2 cups white sugar and vegetable oil. Add in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, vanilla, almond flavoring, and flour. Mix well.
  • Bake in paper lined muffin cups (filled 3/4 full or 3 small greased loaf pans) at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes for muffins and 50-60 minutes for loaves. The tops should be browned and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Remove muffins as soon as you can while still warm/hot and dunk tops into glaze. Turn right side up and cool on a cookie rack. With loaves just pour the glaze evenly over the three loaves while still in pans. Let cool to a warm temp. and remove from pans. Yes, it is a little messy but it is really good.
  • To Make Glaze: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 3/4 cup sugar, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring and 2 teaspoons melted butter. Warm in pan until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over loaf pans or dunk muffin tops into glaze when cooled to room temperature. (Omit the glaze altogether if you don't like the mess.)

CARROT PULP MUFFINS



Carrot Pulp Muffins image

Looking at the mound of carrot pulp from my juicer and then at my 2-1/2-year-old daughter (who loves bread) inspired me to experiment... This muffin is dense, healthy, and can be tweaked to suit your tastes. As is, it is not sweet, but you could certainly add mashed ripe banana or pineapple. Once out of the oven, sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar while they are still hot.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh carrots and poppy seeds will give your muffins the best flavor. If you can, buy organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Grate the Carrots Finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Muffin Tins Evenly: Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin tins evenly. This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the Muffins Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to tell if the muffins are done baking.
  • Let the Muffins Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Carrot and poppy seed muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect carrot and poppy seed muffins every time.
