Hearty Whole Grain Carrot Raisin Muffins
Say goodbye to boring breakfasts and hello to these delightful muffins that prove that healthy can be super tasty! Let’s get those ovens preheated and our mixing bowls ready!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it up. We don’t want our muffin friends getting stuck!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Go ahead, channel your inner whisking champion!
- In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, honey (or maple syrup), vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until it’s all blended together nicely. Let’s make that sweetness swirl!
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Remember, lumps are your friends; we’re not going for a smooth batter here!
- Fold in those beautiful grated carrots and raisins until evenly distributed. Carrots and raisins are like the party guests that make everything better!
- Fill the muffin tins about two-thirds full, because who doesn’t love a muffin that rises to the occasion?
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The muffins should be golden and smelling like heaven!
- Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Then try your best not to devour them all at once!
