Curry Spiced Carrot And Date Muffins Recipes

SPICY CARROT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, raisins, walnuts, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt in a large bowl. Stir Well.
• Beat carrots, eggs and oil. Add to dry ingredients all at once, stirring until just moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pans, filling 3/4 full for regular muffins, or full for large sized muffins.
• Bake for 20 minutes for regular muffins, or 27 miniutes for large muffins or until tops spring back when lightly touched.
• May omit nuts.
• May replace carrots with shredded zucchini.

SPICED CARROT OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or place cupcake wrappers in a standard-size, 12-cup muffin pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, brown sugar, canola oil, egg, and carrots.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk just until all ingredients are incorporated.
• Divide the mixture between the muffin cups. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this - so easy! Cups should be filled just about to the top.
• Bake until muffin tops spring back when poked and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20-22 minutes
• Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
• Serve plain or with butter (or vegan butter) if desired.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 - 3 days or freeze.
