Carrot Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 ½ cups grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners.
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, oil, applesauce, and grated carrots. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and stir until just combined. Finally, stir in the chopped pecans.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

I had a visitor coming for tea this morning, and Taryn said these would be perfect to serve. They came out of the oven just as my company arrived and were oh-so-good! I used mini muffin papers, and 12 minutes was perfect for the bake time.
That does sound perfect - these muffins would be lovely as minis! Thank you!!

That's so great - makes me want to bake these muffins again soon! Thank you for trusting my recipes!!
