How Do You Make Healthy Carrot Cake Muffins?
You’ll feel good about snacking on these delicious muffins. They’re tender and moist, with just the right degree of sweetness. Enjoy them for breakfast or serve them as an after-school treat. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, gently stir together bran flakes and milk; let stand. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. To the cereal-and-milk mixture, add the grated carrots, brown sugar, beaten egg, and oil; stir in the raisins or craisins and walnuts. Add the carrot mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until dry ingredients are incorporated. Scoop batter into prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack or eat while warm.
