Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Grated carrots
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add honey, applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk, and whisk until well combined.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed in the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
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 allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
