Whole Wheat Carrot Muffins Recipes

CARROT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the sugars until well-combined, and then stir in the shredded carrots until evenly coated with the flour mixture. Mix in the optional add-ins, if using.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture into the flour/carrot mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Evenly divide the batter between the 18 prepared muffin cups.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the muffins are risen in the center and test done with a toothpick. After five minutes, carefully remove the muffins from the pans and cool on a wire rack.

• Divide the batter between muffin tins - about 1 1/2 tablespoons each (I use a cookie scoop).
• Sprinkle the tops with additional mini chocolate chips.
• Bake for about 8-9 minutes, until muffins are no longer jiggly and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.

WHOLE WHEAT CARROT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Weigh out 210 grams of peeled carrots, shred them in a food processor, and set them aside. This is about 2 cups of shredded carrots.
• Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• In another bowl, thoroughly mix the wet ingredients.
• Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and gently mix only until almost no flour is visible.
• Fold in the shredded carrots. Then fold in the walnuts or the raisins if desired.
• Move your oven shelf to one above the middle level and preheat your oven to 400F.
• Prepare your muffin pans with 12-16 liners (the amount depends on additions like nuts and raisins) and fill each about 5/6 full of batter. This will seem like a high level but the batter is lumpy and it sinks a bit at the beginning stage of the bake.
• Bake for 20-24 minutes until edges are slightly browned and a toothpick poked in the center of a muffin comes out clean (little cake bits are okay, not goo).

Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups until nearly full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
