Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded carrots
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the honey, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and applesauce, whisking until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Add the shredded carrots to the batter and fold gently to incorporate. If using walnuts or raisins, fold them in at this time as well.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your healthy and naturally sweetened carrot muffins!
