Best Spiced Carrot Oatmeal Muffins Recipes

CARROT OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease muffin tins.
• In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center of the mixture, and add white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix just until evenly moist. Fold in the oats, coconut, raisins, carrots, and pineapple.
• In a bowl, blend the reserved pineapple juice and cream cheese. Fill each muffin cup about 1/2 full with the muffin batter, reserving about 1/3 of the batter. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the muffin cups. Top with remaining batter, so that each muffin cup is about 2/3 full.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

SPICED CARROT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Line 12 cups (each 2 1/2 inches wide) of a standard muffin tin with paper liners; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, pumpkin-pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, butter, and egg. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add yogurt mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in carrots.
• Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. (If desired, muffins can be baked immediately in a 375-degree oven for about 20 minutes.) Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes, then cover tin with plastic wrap, and freeze until ready to bake, up to 3 months.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake muffins (still frozen) until a toothpick inserted in center of one comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375*. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with food release spray. Set aside.

• 3. Stir in the brown sugar, mixing until well blended. Set aside.
• 4. Shred the carrots -- a fine shred is best. Add the shredded carrots and the raisins to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• 5. In a separate small bowl, combine the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir to combine thoroughly.
• 6. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently, just until combined.
• 7. Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 375* for 20-25 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test.
• 8. Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Slide the blade of a knife around the edge of the cups to loosen the muffins, and gently pry them out. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• 9. NOTES: 1) I recommend a DeMarle muffin pan! 2) If you don't have cardamom, just use all cinnamon. 3) You can use regular raisins if you don't have golden.
