Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, honey, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded carrots, grated apple, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
