Carrot Spelt Muffins Recipes

AWESOME CARROT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine raisins and water in a small bowl. Let soak for 15 minutes. Drain raisins, discard water and set raisins aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil and brown sugar; beat well. Combine egg mixture and flour mixture; mix just until moistened. Fold in carrots and drained raisins. Spoon into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes before frosting.

CARROT-SPELT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Rub muffin tins with a 1/3-cup capacity with butter (or line tins with paper liners.) To encourage even baking, the author suggests filing alternate cups in a 24-cup tin, or to use two 12-cup tins. I never am good at following directions.
• For the streusel topping, measure the flour, oat bran, sugars, and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the butter to the dry mixture. Rub the butter between your fingers, (or use a pastry blender) breaking it into smaller bits. Continue rubbing until the mixture feels coarse, like cornmeal. The more quickly you do this, the more the butter will stay solid, which is important for the success of the recipe.
• Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, pouring back into the bowl any bits of grain that may remain in the sifter. Stir the carrots into the dry ingredients.
• In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk slowly into the melted butter, add the egg and whisk until thoroughly combined. Using a spatula, mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Scoop the batter into 8 muffin cups. The batter should be slightly mounded above the edge. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the mounds of batter and press it into the batter slightly.
• Bake for 32 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. The muffins are done when they smell nutty and the bottoms are dark golden-brown and the tops are crisp. Remove the tins from the oven, twist each muffin out, and place it on its side in the cup to cool. This insures that the muffin stays crusty instead of getting soggy. Eat warm from the oven or later that day, or freeze and reheat.

CARROT PULP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Mix carrot pulp, applesauce, eggs, and brown sugar together in a bowl.
• Mix spelt flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and ginger together in a separate bowl.
• Combine carrot pulp and flour mixtures until batter is blended and thick. Fold in walnuts and raisins.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin. Press down and fill each cup to the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

SPELT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
• Add the eggs, applesauce or yogurt, vanilla, honey, and buttermilk to the mashed banana.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir. Do not overmix.
• Combine the fruit and nuts with the batter.
• Fill oiled muffin cups 3/4 full.
• Sprinkle tops of muffins with additional flax seed meal and bake for 15-20 minutes.

CARROT-APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
• Stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Whisk together yogurt, buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a second bowl. Fold flour mixture into yogurt mixture, mixing just until combined and flour disappears. Stir together apple, carrot, and walnuts in a separate bowl; gently fold into the batter. Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups.
• Bake muffins in the preheated oven until golden brown or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 17 to 19 minutes.
• Cool muffins in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
