Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the grated carrots, milk, applesauce, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
