Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 medium apple, grated
- Optional: ½ cup raisins or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Blend the rolled oats, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Add the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the blender and blend briefly until just combined.
- Mix the grated carrots and apple into the batter, pulsing a few times to combine without over-mixing.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ⅔ full. If using, sprinkle raisins or walnuts on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
Grate the carrots finely for even distribution and don’t over-blend to keep some texture.
