Disse Eplemos-gulrotmuffins are moist, sweet, and soft muffins loaded with flavors and made with wholesome ingredients and unrefined sugar.

- Using a rubber spatula, stir the ingredients until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into the paper liners.
- Bake the muffins on the center rack of the oven for about 35-45 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a pick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
You only need a few ingredients for this recipe, here’s how to pick them.

- Usøtet eplemos – It provides moisture and natural sweetness. Smooth applesauce is essential for the right texture.
- Usøtet mandelmelk – For moisture. Other plant-based milks like coconut, oat, or soy milk work well.
- Lett olivenolje – For even more moisture and healthy fats. Any light-flavored oil can be used.
- Vaniljeekstrakt – To enhance the overall flavor.
- Kokosnøtt sukker – For sweetness. Any crystal sweetener like regular sugar or brown sugar will work. Skipping it will result in less sweet muffins and the top will not be the same slightly crispy.
- All-purpose mel – White spelt or white whole wheat flour are good substitutes. Almond, oat, or coconut flour won’t. For a gluten-free version, use my glutenfri konverteringsguide.
- Baking Powder – Helps the muffins rise.
- Kanel – For warm, spicy flavors.
- Strimlet gulrot – To add moisture, sweetness, and texture.
- Tørkede rosiner – They bring sweetness and chewiness. Chopped walnuts or pecans are great alternatives or even dried cranberries.

Hi can I make this as a loaf instead? Sounds delicious
Probably, the baking time will consequently increase to around 45-55 minutes
We’re watching potassium and phosphorus. Carrots must be leached,soaked thinly sliced carrots in water several hours and rinsed before cooking. Can cooked carrots be used in this recipe. Will need to omit the raisins as hubby is diabetic.
I haven’t tried that, I guess you can add cooked grated carrots, btu they will get mushy, and they will also release more moisture to the batter making the crumb gummy.
I love it is so good and so creamy and I LOVE carrot and I know you do to
Takk så mye!
Absolutely the best recipe ive used for these muffins! It will now be my Go To from now on!

Thank you so much! I am so happy to here that.
Just made these and they are wonderful! I substituted chopped dates for raisins. First recipe I have made of yours and will definitely be trying more! Thank you!

Can you use organic whole milk?
Absolutely! any milk work.
I have just made the apple and carrot muffins. The recipe is clearly set out and easily understood, I love that you have included the tick off at each ingredient.
It was a quick and easy make and tastes so sweet and delicious, thank you very much for your time, energy and care.
Takk skal du ha!
I just baked a batch and have three extra large muffins in addition to the 12. The regular size muffins were done in half hour. I didn’t have coconut sugar so substituted light brown sugar. they look and smell great!
I am so glad you love them! I filled my 12 muffin holes up to the top, and I couldn’t make more than 12 so this is a surprising fact. I am sorry this happened to you.
They turned out so good!! I added chopped dates! Big hit in my family!!
Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe!
Takk skal du ha!
Would regular milk work? Thanks
Ja visst!
