Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 0.33 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups Carrots (grated)
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or grease the tin with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and chopped nuts if using, until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert!
