Carrot Raisin Oat Muffins!

Yes, the title is kind of a mouthful, but these muffins are too! They pack a punch with awesome flavor plus a serving of fruits and veggies too!

Preheat your oven to 375. In a large bowl, mix together all of your dry ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and 1/4 cup stevia.

These dried spices taste great and have great health benefits!
Then, in a separate bowl, combine all of your wet ingredients...
1 cup skim milk, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 egg (I use egg whites), 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Then add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients, and stir in 2 cups shredded carrots and 1/2 cup raisins.

Mix well and pour everything into muffin cups. If desired, sprinkle a few more oats on the top of the bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

  1. I made a vegan version of these today, substituting soy milk and egg replacer for the skim milk and egg. I wanted to point out that the 1/4 *cup* each of nutmeg, ginger and cloves is most assuredly a typo!! I used 1/4 teaspoon of each of these spices and the flavor was perfect.
