Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Grated carrots
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.33 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon powder, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add honey, applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk, and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
