Easy Carrot Cake Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs eggs
• 2 tablespoons applesauce, or more as needed
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.67 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
2. In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the grated carrots, then gently fold in the wet ingredients and melted butter until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
