Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups carrots, chopped (or baby carrots)
1/2-3/4 cup applesauce
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup oil (I use melted coconut oil, but any vegetable based oil works)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or any whole grain flour, I use a spelt, kamut, and whole wheat mix)
1/2 cup sugar (or evaporated cane juice)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Put carrots and apple sauce in to food processor, mix until it has the consistency of baby food. Set aside.
  • Sift all dry ingredients together.
  • Stir oil, eggs, and carrot mixture together until well blended.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, fold gently until blended.
  • Add raisins and nuts mix gently. (Be careful not to over mix, or the muffins will be rubbery).

  • Cool completely then top with icing if desired.

I've never had a worse muffin in my life. These were dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I would not recommend them to my worst enemy.

I'm not sure what went wrong with these muffins, but they were a complete disaster. They were burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I think they would have been better with more moisture.

I'm not usually a fan of carrot cake, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The cream cheese frosting really makes them.
