Healthy Carrot Muffin
Main Ingredients: Egg, Non Fat Plain Greek Yogurt, Vegetable Oil
Ingredients
For the muffins:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup grated carrots
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
For the cream cheese frosting:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, beat together the brown sugar, oil, egg, and milk until well combined.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Then fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts, if using.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the muffins are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Once the muffins are completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting on top of each muffin.
Serve and enjoy your delicious and easy carrot muffins!
Tips and Variations
If you're not a fan of walnuts, you can substitute them with raisins or omit them entirely.
For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a dash of orange zest to the batter.
If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can increase the amount of brown sugar in the batter or add some raisins to the mix.
If you don't have cream cheese on hand, you can use a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and orange juice instead of the cream cheese frosting.
These easy carrot muffins are perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert. They're sure to be a hit with your family and friends, and they're a great way to incorporate some healthy carrots into your diet. Give this recipe a try and let us know what you think!
