Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated carrot
- 1 cup Chopped apple
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar. Stir to mix evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft muffins.
Fold in the grated carrot, chopped apple, walnuts or pecans, and raisins (if using). Mix until distributed evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these muffins as a convenient, nutritious breakfast or snack!
