Ingredients
- Dry ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour (or a mixture of whole wheat and unbleached flours)
- 1/4 cup natural sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet ingredients:
- 1/3 cup agave nectar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/2 cup soy yogurt
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup shredded carrots (about 3)
- 1/4 cup raisins
- Optional topping: Vanilla sugar
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray or use muffin liners. (I used silicone muffin pans.)
-
Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the liquid ingredients. Add the liquid to the dry and mix just long enough to combine. Add the carrots and raisins and stir to combine.
-
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups—it will be very thick. Sprinkle with vanilla sugar, if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
