Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Seeds

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseeds

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Grate fresh carrots finely and measure out ground flaxseeds and all spices and dry ingredients. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, ground flaxseeds, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the oil, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold in the grated carrots just until combined, keeping the batter light and fluffy without overmixing.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing from the tin.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
  • Grate carrots finely for even moisture distribution.
  • Test your oven early to prevent overbaking.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
