Carrot, Date & Avocado Oil Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat, spelt, or a mix)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup avocado olive oil blend
  • ½ cup maple syrup or honey
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
  • ½–¾ cup chopped dates

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, avocado olive oil blend, maple syrup, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine
    Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in carrots and dates
    Gently fold in grated carrots and chopped dates until evenly distributed.
  6. Bake
    Divide batter evenly among muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until muffins are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve
    Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
