Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Date Puree (from about 10-12 pitted dates)
- 0.33 cup Oil vegetable or canola
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 0.33 cup Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Cinnamon ground
Produce
- 1 cup Carrots grated
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the muffins bake evenly.
- To make the date puree, pit 10-12 dates and soak them in warm water for 30 minutes to soften. Drain the dates and blend them into a smooth puree. This adds natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, date puree, and oil. Add the grated carrots, sugar, and cinnamon, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed for a light and airy muffin.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each liner about ¾ full. This prevents the muffins from sticking and makes them easy to remove.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- If you want to avoid refined sugar, you can use an equal amount of jaggery powder instead.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of regular granulated sugar.
- If your jaggery has lumps, grate it before adding it to the recipe for even sweetness.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar/jaggery.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
