Yield 20-24

Number Of Ingredients 16

ngredients
1 cup - flour, whole wheat
1 cup - flour, all-purpose
3/4 tsp - baking soda
1/2 tsp - salt
1/4 tsp - nutmeg
1/4 tsp - cinnamon
3/4 cup - sugar
4 tbsp - butter, unsalted
2 large - egg
1 tsp - vanilla extract
1/8 cup - apple juice
1/4 cup - applesauce, unsweetened
1 medium - carrots, raw
2 1/2 cup - fruit and veggie puree
1/4 cup - yogurt, plain

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together dry ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Mix the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla in a mixer. Beat well Combine produce, apple juice, and apple sauce in a food processor and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Combine the puree, carrots, and yogurt, into the butter mixture and beat until mixed. Finally, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined and wet. Scoop the mixture into a prepared muffin pan Bake them in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes for regular size muffins, and 350 for 20 minutes for mini-muffins. Bake until the tops are slightly brown and a toothpick comes out clean or they bounce back when you touch them with your finger. These freeze great! Put them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Yields: 36 Mini-Muffins or 20-24 regular-size muffins (You can make regular size muffins, but they turn out better as mini-muffins because they are smaller and take less time to bake)

Tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients in advance. This will help you save time and ensure that you have everything you need before you start baking.
  • Use ripe fruit and vegetables. This will give your muffins the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:
