Apple Carrot and Cereal Muffins

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
