Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup almond milk
1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups grated carrots
¾ cup chopped pineapple, drained
¾ cup raisins
¾ cup chopped walnuts
¾ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons molasses
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Whisk almond milk and vinegar together in a small bowl; set aside until curdled, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Combine carrots, pineapple, raisins, and walnuts together in a separate bowl.
  • Whisk 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar, olive oil, molasses, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cardamom together in a separate bowl. Mix curdled milk mixture and sugar mixture into flour mixture just until batter is mixed; fold in carrot mixture. Spoon batter into muffin cups until each is completely filled and domed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots. Fresh carrots are more flavorful and moist than older carrots.
  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These vegan mini carrot cake muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a creamy and tangy flavor. These muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
