- 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
- 3 large eggs.
- 1 cup vegetable oil.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F. Line your muffin tin with liners. This keeps the muffins from sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Put flour and sugar in a bowl. Add baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk them together very well.
Prepare Fruits and Veggies
- Grate your carrots and apples. Squeeze out extra juice from apples. Add them to a separate bowl.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- Whisk eggs, oil, and vanilla together. Make sure the mixture is smooth. Do not over-beat the eggs.
Mix Everything Together
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ones. Stir until just combined. Fold in carrots, apples, and nuts.
Fill the Muffin Tin
- Scoop batter into the prepared tin. Fill each cup to the top. This makes them nice and big.
Bake the Muffins
- Place the tin in the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Use a toothpick to check them.
Cool and Serve
- Let them cool for five minutes. Move them to a wire rack. Enjoy your warm, healthy muffins!
Notes
- Use fresh carrots for better moisture.
- Do not over-mix the batter.
- Stir until the flour just disappears.
- Toast the walnuts before adding them.
- This adds a deep, nutty flavor.
- Use a tart apple like Granny Smith.
- It balances the sweet sugar perfectly.
- Let the muffins cool completely.
- They taste even better the next day.
- Store them in an airtight container.
