ULTIMATE SUNRISE CARROT MUFFINS



Ultimate Sunrise Carrot Muffins image

Full of nutritious goodies, kids and health-nuts love them! Great for breakfast on the go! Easily veganized and full of fiber. I think raisins would also be a nice addition, but they are not part of this recipe. It really helps if you have a food processor to grate the carrots and apples, but it's not necessary.

Tips:

  • For perfectly moist carrot muffins, use freshly grated carrots. Avoid pre-shredded carrots, as they tend to be drier.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
