Provided by Melissa Johnson

Categories     Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

Dry Ingredients
2 cups soft white whole wheat flour or 260g soft white winter wheat berries fresh-milled
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
2 eggs
⅓ cup light olive oil (70g)
1¼ cups packed brown sugar (250g)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (235g) (I used low fat)
Final Fold-In Ingredients
2 cups grated carrots (210g)
optional 1 cup walnuts (110g) or 1 cup raisins (160g)

Steps:

  • Weigh out 210 grams of peeled carrots, shred them in a food processor, and set them aside. This is about 2 cups of shredded carrots.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, thoroughly mix the wet ingredients.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients, and gently mix only until almost no flour is visible.
  • Fold in the shredded carrots. Then fold in the walnuts or the raisins if desired.
  • Move your oven shelf to one above the middle level and preheat your oven to 400F.
  • Prepare your muffin pans with 12-16 liners (the amount depends on additions like nuts and raisins) and fill each about 5/6 full of batter. This will seem like a high level but the batter is lumpy and it sinks a bit at the beginning stage of the bake.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes until edges are slightly browned and a toothpick poked in the center of a muffin comes out clean (little cake bits are okay, not goo).
