Carrot Muffins

a Recipe by Jake Nobello

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup flax seeds

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

2 cups grated carrots

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup dried orange rind

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

2 large eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, white sugar, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Mix well.

Grate the carrots and chop the walnuts if they're not already chopped. Also, make sure the dried orange rind is in small pieces.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Gently fold in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and dried orange rind.

Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Makes 10 to 12 Muffins.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These Carrot Muffins are a delightful and healthy treat. They're perfect for breakfast or as a snack. The combination of carrots, nuts, and orange rind provides a unique and delicious flavour. Enjoy your homemade muffins!
