Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 3/4 cup Sugar powdered
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Sifting helps aerate the dry ingredients, resulting in lighter muffins.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Grate the apple and carrot. Toss the chopped nuts with a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients in two or three additions. Be careful not to overmix, as this can develop the gluten and make the muffins tough.
- Fold in the grated apple, carrot, and flour-coated nuts. The batter should be thick.
- Fill the prepared muffin liners about two-thirds full. Add your desired toppings, such as blueberries, slivered almonds, or chocolate chips.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. These muffins are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or a healthy snack.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Grate the apple at the end to prevent discoloration. If you grate it earlier, toss it with a little lemon juice.
- The flour helps the nuts distribute evenly in the muffins and prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
- Use any neutral cooking oil like olive oil or refined oil. Avoid strong-flavored oils like mustard oil or coconut oil.
- You can grate the apple with or without the skin.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the batter.
- Fill the muffin cups almost to the top for nicely domed muffins.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. It should come out clean.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
