Unique Carrot Cake Muffins

I’m excited to share this delicious and healthier dessert with you today! These unique carrot cake muffins are the perfect treat for any time of day. The combination of warm spices, sweet carrots, and crunchy walnuts is truly irresistible.

To make these muffins, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Carrots (150g, grated)
  • Walnuts (75g, chopped)
  • Whole wheat flour (200g)
  • Coconut sugar (100g)
  • Baking powder (1 tsp)
  • Cinnamon (1 tsp)
  • Nutmeg (1/2 tsp)
  • Salt (1/4 tsp)
  • Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
  • Almond milk (200ml)
  • Vegetable oil (50ml)

You’ll also need the following kitchen tools:

  • Mixing bowl
  • Muffin tin
  • Whisk
  • Grater

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lining your muffin tin with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, vanilla extract, almond milk, and vegetable oil. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups in your tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

These carrot cake muffins weigh approximately 900g total and make 12 servings. Each muffin is around 75g and has an estimated calorie count of 200 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a tablespoon of orange zest to the batter for a citrusy twist on traditional carrot cake flavors. The zest adds a brightness that pairs beautifully with the warm spices and sweet carrots.

I hope you give these unique carrot cake muffins a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the recipe and make it your own by adding your favorite mix-ins or toppings. Happy baking!
