Carrot and apple sauce muffins

This recipe for carrot and apple sauce muffins is milk free but it contains eggs. Substituting butter with vegetable oil and apple sauce adds moist to the muffins.

Ingredients

1 1⁄2 cups flour (all purpose)
1 cup flour (whole grain flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons nutmeg (grated)
1 teaspoon cardamom (ground)
3 egg
2⁄3 cup brown sugar (light or dark, firmly packed)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups carrot (peeled and grated)
1 cup raisin
1⁄2 cup sunflower oil
2 orange (optional, zest only)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray muffin tins with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.

In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in the vegetable oil, applesauce, carrots, raisins, and orange peel. Add to the flour and mix just until incorporated.

Pour into the prepared muffin tins and bake until a tester inserted comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack, then invert and cool completely.
