  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots, Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you’re using walnuts, fold them in gently.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
