Apple Nut Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 1/3 cups applesauce
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces you can use pecans, if you prefer
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the shredded carrots, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla in large bowl. Although I almost always used my stand mixer for recipes, I mixed this in a regular mixing bowl because it's all very easily mixed by hand.
- Add eggs and sugar to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- In a different bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and walnuts. Mix these together until well blended.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl.
- Do not over mix them. Just combine them until the dry ingredients, well, until they no longer look dry.
- Use liners with your muffin tins or grease the pan. I use my Silpat muffin pans, so I don't use liners or have to grease the pan. Bonus!
- Fill each muffin well 1/2 - 3/4 full.
- Bake muffins for 24 - 28 minutes. Mine take right around 27 minutes, but I would definitely keep an eye on yours until you know how long they take in your oven.
- Allow to cool and then enjoy them!
