Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups grated carrots
3 eggs
⅓ cup milk
¼ cup applesauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips, or to taste
¼ cup dried cranberries, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Whisk carrots, eggs, milk, applesauce, canola oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl.
