HEALTHY AND HEARTY CARROT CAKE MUFFINS



Healthy and Hearty Carrot Cake Muffins image

This is a variation on my favorite blueberry muffin recipe. It's a delicious healthy take on carrot cake - lots of fiber from the whole wheat flour and rolled oats, and you can use less sugar because the pineapple, raisins and shredded coconut add sweetness. I've also reduced the oil, since the crushed pineapple makes the muffins nice and moist. For an extra treat, top with cream cheese frosting. I love to make extra on weekends and freeze the extras for later.

Time 35m

Yield 12 regular sized muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (gently press out excess juice)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
1/4 cup golden raisin

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with paper baking cups.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl with a whisk.
  • In a medium bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, crushed pineapple, and butter/coconut oil with a whisk.
  • Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour liquid ingredients in, stirring a few times with a wooden spoon or scraper to incorporate gently. Don't mix too much!
  • Fold in shredded carrots, walnuts or pepitas, shredded coconut, and golden raisins. (Note: if you use bagged shredded carrots, you may want to coarsely chop them so the shreds don't stick out of your muffin).
  • Scoop 1/3 cup of batter per muffin into tin.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Wait patiently for a few minutes before popping your muffins out of the tin!

DELICIOUS DIABETIC CARROT CAKE MUFFINS



Delicious Diabetic Carrot Cake Muffins image

These carrot cakes make a great lunch box treat or snack for diabetics. The only "sugar" is a light dusting of powdered sugar, which could be left off. If you choose to make them "non-diabetic", frost with cream cheese icing.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups self-rising flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend (see note at bottom)
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup pureed carrot (I use canned)
1/3 cup unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut

Steps:

  • NOTE: When substituting real brown sugar for the Splenda, use 1/2 cup, as the Splenda is double strength.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Beat together the egg and brown sugar. Stir in the butter, sour cream, pureed carrots, pineapple, and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.
  • Fold in the nuts and coconut.
  • Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
