Moist, fragrant muffins made with grated carrots, warm spices, and a crunchy streusel topping; perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine grated carrots, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well until blended.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
  5. Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and cinnamon until crumbly to create a streusel topping.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, then sprinkle the streusel topping generously on each muffin.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown and spring back when gently touched.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
