Moist Carrot Apple Muffins

It’s 9:00 p.m. on a quiet Wednesday night. The dishes are drying in the sink, the floors have been swept and there’s nothing but re-runs on television. My mind begins pondering other things…naughty things. I switch on my iPad and begin surfing Google images. After a few attempts, I hit the jackpot. My iPad and I make our way into the other room. I adjust the lights, setting the mood, slip into something more comfortable and then…

I preheat the oven to 350 degrees, un-nest my mixing bowls and get right to it. Carrot Apple Oat Muffins – oh yes, baby, YES!   What did you think I was talking about?


Carrot Apple Oat Muffins

  • Servings: 10-12 muffins
  • Print
At the point I added cream cheese frosting, I think these stopped being muffins and moved into cupcake territory.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Quaker oats
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 Granny Smith Apples, grated
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • ½ cup currants, softened in boiling water
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin or use papers. Combine flour, oats, , sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a large bowl. Add apples, carrots and currants and stir until they are coated in flour. Beat together eggs, buttermilk, oil, molasses and vanilla in a small bowl. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and combine thoroughly. Do not over-mix.
  2. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full. Baked for 15-20 minutes and until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in muffin tin for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack until cooled completely.
    3. To gild the lily: Frost cooled muffins with cream cheese frosting.
