Carrot Apple Ginger Muffins Recipe

Carrot Apple Ginger Muffins

From eyecook 13 years ago

These are great little gems. Not too sweet, not too filling, just tasty and quick to put together.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
For my muffin tin I use "If You Care" baking cups - NOTHING sticks. Really. They are so worth getting - almost magic. I just pop them in the muffin tin. This recipe uses a standard size muffin tin (12 muffins) and the Large Size "If You Care" cups. If you don't want to use liners, grease the muffin tins lightly.
Mix together in large bowl the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and chopped pecans. Set aside.
Grate the carrots, and apple and add the orange juice and zest.
In a medium bowl stir the melted butter, eggs and vanilla till very well blended and add to grated carrots mixture.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry till well incorporated but not over mixed. The batter will seem too thick and you'll be thinking - is this right? Don't worry, it is.
Divide the batter among the muffin tins. There should be enough to fill them almost even with the top. That's ok too.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes till toothpick comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack, not in the muffin tin otherwise moisture will condense between the tin and the muffin cup and it'll get soggy.
Enjoy.

Yum! I am pleasantly surprised by this muffin! It's a little more work with all the grating, but definitely worth the effort. My children loved it too!
The carrot, apple and ginger work so well together! I can't taste the orange so I'll leave it out next time--which will also save on prep time! And I'll probably leave out the nuts too.
