Easy Carrot Muffins

Like I said in my zucchini muffin recipe, I have a very picky eater on my hands. With the exception of onions (?), Brady will only eat veggies if they’re hidden in something else.

She’s a fan of the sweets and will at least try anything labeled as a cake. Hands down this are Brady’s favorite muffin (cake) recipe and I have to agree, this is one the whole family will enjoy!

Ingredients

How to make easy carrot muffins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line your muffin pan with liners or lightly mist with cooking spray to prevent muffins from sticking.

Mix flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl and set flour mixture aside. In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or coconut oil depending on what you have on hand), vanilla extract, and egg together with a fork or whisk.

Grate carrots or puree them. If you’re looking to hide them from picky eaters, pureeing them works best.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients into the well. Stir until combined.

Fill muffin tin 3/4 full with batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.

Allow muffins to cool completely before removing from pan.

I love that there's yogurt in this--I'd totally have these for breakfast and not feel guilty about it. And I'd throw in raisins!
