Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 0.33 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups Carrots (grated)
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or grease the tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and chopped nuts if using, until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ 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

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a nutritious breakfast, snack, or dessert!
