Carrot-Apple Muffins

Carrot-Apple Muffins

Ingredients:
11/3 cup grated raw carrot
1 small apple, peeled and grated
11/3 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar, granulated
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) and place rack in the center of oven.
Sieve together flour,baking soda,baking powder,salt, and cinnamon powder in a bowl.
Add sugar and mix all the ingredients together.
In another bowl whisk together eggs, oil, and vanilla essence.
Add the wet ingredients mix to the dry ingredients mix. Give it a gentle stir.
Now add the carrot and apple, stir just until moistened. Do not stir much or else the muffin will become hard or tough.
Grease a muffin baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the batter to the muffin pan cups. Fill half or little more than half of the muffin cups. You can even garnish it with cashews like I did.
Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool. After around 10 mins remove the muffins on a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Carrot-Apple Muffins are ready to serve. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
Recipe serves approx 12 muffins.
