The Muffin-holic had to bake muffins again and this time I share with you my Apple Carrot and Cereal Muffins
I wanted something that was not sweet, and I had to lean more towards the healthy side. The only ingredient that I knew I wanted in this muffin, had to be carrots, so I invented this one as I went along. As many will know, that’s my standard way to create and just see what I have and then hope for the best ……
Ingredients:
- 1¼ cup wholemeal flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup Quaker Harvest Crunch Cereal (if you cannot find this particular one, feel free to use any cereal with some nuts in it)
- 1/3 cup Almond milk
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1/3 cup golden yellow sugar (or regular brown sugar)
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup grated carrots
- ½ cup Apple sauce
- ½ tsp vanilla
Method:
- Mix almond milk and vinegar, and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken up, or you can use buttermilk if you have that in stock.
- Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, and cereal.
- Whisk together oil, sugar, egg, carrots, apple sauce, and vanilla.
- Combine all ingredients, and mix through.
- Spray muffin pans and scoop out ± ½ cup per muffin (6 in total)
- Bake in preheated oven at 350F for ±20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the crown of the muffin comes out clean.
