Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated carrots
- 1 medium Apple, peeled and grated
- 0.5 cups Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the applesauce, yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until nearly combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, grated apple, and raisins, stirring just until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your moist and low-fat carrot raisin apple muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
