Carrot Apple Almond Muffins

Carrot Apple Almond Muffins

This is my favorite recipe so far. I just made these yesterday - perfect for fall! I adapted this recipe from onceamonthmom to make it "more healthy", and here you have my delicious carrot apple almond muffins :) 

INGREDIENTS

2 cups whole wheat flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup chopped almonds

3 eggs

1/2 cup applesauce

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (or fresh)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups grated carrot (no need to peel!)

1 cup grated apple 

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and nuts. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, ginger, and vanilla. Gently mix together wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in carrot and apple. Spoon into greased muffin tins, filling about 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. 

***FREEZER FRIENDLY***

Make a bigger batch and freeze! Make sure they are completely cooled before storing in the freezer.
