Healthy Carrot Muffins
Ingrediënten
- 1 ½ cups Wortelen - 6.5 ounces (190g) grated (note 1)
- 1 ¾ cup Witte volkoren tarwebloem - (notitie 2)
- 2 theelepel Bakpoeder
- ⅔ cup Ongeraffineerde rietsuiker - (notitie 3)
- 1 theelepel Kaneel
- ½ theelepel Zout
- 1 cup Amandelmelk - (notitie 4)
- ½ cup Olijfolie met milde smaak - (notitie 5)
- 2 theelepels Vanille-extract
Optional for extra flavors
- ¼ theelepel Piment
- ¾ cup Hennepzaden - or walnuts
Instructies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-hole muffin tray with a paper liner. Lightly oil with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- Trim the carrots, cut them into chunks, place them in a food processor, and pulse a few times to form carrot 'rice'. You can grate the carrots with a grater box too. Lightly pack the shredded carrots in the measuring cup to get 1 1/2 cups (190g/6.7oz.). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and allspice if used. Whisk to combine evenly.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add milk, oil, vanilla extract, the carrots prepared earlier, and hemp seeds if used.
- Combine with a rubber spatula, scraping down the sides of the bowl to bring all the ingredients together, and form a smooth batter.
- Fill the 12 muffin holes evenly, up to the top.
- Bake the muffins on the center rack of your oven for 30-35 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until they are golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let them cool down in the pan for 10 minutes, then on a cooling rack for 2 hours.

Ingrediënten en vervangingen
Voor dit recept heb je maar een paar simpele ingrediënten nodig. Hier lees je hoe je ze kunt kiezen en vervangen.

- Wortelen – These provide the main flavor, natural sweetness, and moisture to the muffins.
- Witte volkoren tarwebloem – This flour gives the muffins their structure and adds fiber. All-purpose flour or spelt flour also work well here.
- Bakpoeder – This helps the muffins rise and become light and fluffy, especially since we aren’t using eggs.
- Ongeraffineerde rietsuiker – This adds sweetness and helps the muffins brown. You can also use coconut sugar or muscovado sugar.
- Kaneel – This adds a lovely warm spice flavor that pairs perfectly with carrots.
- Zout – Salt is important for balancing the sweetness and enhancing all the other flavors.
- Amandelmelk – This is the main liquid that brings the batter together. Any plant-based milk, like soy milk or oat milk, is fine.
- Olijfolie met milde smaak – This provides moisture and fat, which is key to keeping the muffins tender. Melted coconut oil or canola oil are good substitutes.
- Vanille-extract – This adds a nice background flavor that rounds out the sweetness and spice.
- Piment – This is optional, but it adds an extra layer of warm, complex spice.
- Hennepzaden – These add healthy fats and a good amount of protein. You can also use chopped walnuts, pecans, or dried fruit like raisins.

Carine's baktips
Ik deel graag nog een paar tips voor perfecte muffins.
- Carrot Texture – I prefer pulsing the carrots in a food processor because you get small “rice” pieces, which adds more texture. You can absolutely grate them with a box grater if you find that easier.
- Customize Your Mix-ins – The hemp seeds are great for protein, but feel free to swap them for chopped nuts (like walnuts), other seeds, or dried fruits (like raisins) if you want extra sweetness.
- Zoetheid aanpassen – These muffins aren’t overly sweet, but you can reduce the sugar down to 1/2 cup if you prefer.
- Stick to the Oil – I don’t recommend swapping the oil for substitutes like applesauce or yogurt. I find it makes the muffins too wet and gummy, and they just don’t firm up properly.
- Muffin Toppings – Before baking, you can sprinkle some rolled oats or extra seeds on top for a nice look and a bit of crunch.
