Too Easy Pumpkin Carrot Cake Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Beat milk, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in another bowl. Stir carrots into flour mixture; fold in milk mixture and butter until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat ingredients together on low until just combined. Increase to medium speed and beat for two minutes more.
• Pour into 24 paper lined muffin cups. Bake 18 minutes.
• ***Can be frosted with premade cream cheese frosting with a dash of pumpkin pie spice mixed in and topped with chopped walnuts.
• ***Can substitute spice cake mix for the carrot cake mix.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 36 muffin cups with baking liners.
• Grate the carrots (I use a box grater and use the second largest sized hole). Set aside.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the carrots, flours, flax, baking powder and soda, cinnamon and allspice. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
• Combine the brown sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat using a stand mixer or a hand mixer until smooth. Add the eggs and beat until incorporated. Stir in the yogurt, pumpkin, orange juice, and vanilla.
• Add the flour mixture to the sugar/butter/egg mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed, but do not over beat.
• Add a scant 1/4 cup of batter to each muffin cup, making about 36 muffins in all. Bake at muffins at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or until cooked through when tested with a toothpick. Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack completely.
• To freeze: Place completely cooled muffins into gallon sized freezer zip bags in one layer, about 9 will fit in a bag. Using a straw, remove any excess air and zip the bag. Place in the freezer, it's ok to stack the bags on top of each other, for up to 2 months (good luck getting them to last that long!).
• Remove as many muffins as you need at a time and either thaw at room temperature or heat in the toaster oven or microwave. Frost with the sweetened cream cheese, if desired.
• For the sweetened cream cheese: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a bowl and a hand mixer. Cream cheese will store for up to a week in the refrigerator. (I have not tested freezing it.).

Steps:

• Add your solid mixture to your liquid mixture in 2 steps and stir to combine. Towards the end, fold in your dried fruits. The result mixture will not be too watery or too thick.
• Pour in your mixture in a greased 12 pieces muffin pan. Then decorate the top of your muffins with your choice of nuts.
• Put it in your pre-heated oven (180 - 200C) and bake for 25 min.
• The result will be a not-too-sweet balanced and healthy piece of muffin (180 calories) good for breakfasts and snacks.
