APPLE & CARROT "SUPERHERO" MUFFINS



Apple & Carrot

This apple carrot muffin recipe is naturally sweetened and gluten free! These hearty apple-carrot muffins make a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack. Recipe yields 12 muffins.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Muffins

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups packed almond meal or almond flour (10 ounces)
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats (certified gluten free if necessary)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I used pecans), or raisins or chocolate chips
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
3 eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup grated Granny Smith apple (about 1 1/2 apples)
1 cup peeled and grated carrots (about 3 carrots)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups (I didn't because I have full faith in my muffin pan, but use them if you're uncertain).
  • In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and optional mix-ins, if using.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs and butter. Whisk in the grated apple and carrots. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool completely before storing.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. If you like them warm, reheat them on low power in the microwave.

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin-pie spice
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, butter, and egg. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add yogurt mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in carrots.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour (can sub 1 cup for whole wheat flour or all for white whole wheat flour)
1 cup rolled oats + a couple extra tablespoons for topping
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup milk (can substitute unsweetened almond milk)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce*
1/3 cup canola oil
1 large egg
2-3 medium carrots (finely grated (about 2 cups))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or place cupcake wrappers in a standard-size, 12-cup muffin pan.

CARROT-APPLE MUFFINS



Carrot-Apple Muffins image

Cooler weather has arrived, and as always, my mind wanders to fall produce with apples at the top of the list.

These muffins freeze well and can be quickly reheated in the microwave on a low temperature for a quick breakfast.

APPLE CARROT MUFFINS



Apple Carrot Muffins image

Moist Apple Carrot Muffins with Oatmeal. An easy and healthy recipe with no sugar! Wonderful flavor and texture. Perfect for toddlers and adults too!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast     Snack

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup golden raisins (, walnuts, pecans, dried cranberries, or mix-ins of choice)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup grated carrot (about 1 large carrot)
3/4 cup grated apple (1 small apple will be more than enough; no need to peel it first)
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (at room temperature)
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (honey is my favorite)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon honey (my favorite or maple syrup (also yummy))
1/2 tablespoon unsweetened almondmilk (nonfat milk, or milk of choice)

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 baking cups with paper liners or lightly coat with nonstick spray. Set aside. If using nuts for the mix-ins, toast them in the oven now: Spread the nuts into an even layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 to 12 minutes (for pecan or walnut halves), until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer the nuts immediately to a cutting board; roughly chop and set aside.
  • Place the coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave just until melted (about 30 seconds on high). Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Add the grated carrot and apple and fold to combine.
  • To the bowl with the coconut oil, add the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. If the coconut oil resolidifies, warm it in the microwave in 15-second bursts, and stop as soon as you can stir the mixture back together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the nuts or any other mix-ins.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 4 minutes. Gently transfer the muffins to the rack to finish cooling completely.
  • For the icing: Whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and 1 teaspoon milk. Continue to add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over the top of the cooled muffins.

SPICY CARROT MUFFINS



Spicy Carrot Muffins image

This recipe is from 'Robin Hood Home Baking', a book that I got for Christmas several years ago. The first time I tasted these muffins I knew that I would no longer have to search for another carrot muffin recipe-these are the best! I followed the directions exactly, but omitted the walnuts. Sometimes I use half whole wheat flour too. I always double the recipe and try to sneak a few away for the freezer;)
