Whole-Wheat Carrot Applesauce Muffins!

Hi! During these tough times i'm going to be Posting different recipes on this blog. My first recipe is carrot applesauce muffins. Carrot applesauce muffins are really yummy and fun to make.  My mom found this recipe on 100DaysofRealFood.com. This recipe has a total cook time of 32 minutes. That's 10 minutes of hands on time then 22 minutes of cook time.

Ingredients

1 1⁄2 cups whole-wheat flour  

1 teaspoon baking soda  

1 teaspoon cinnamon   ground

1⁄2 teaspoon ginger   ground

1⁄2 teaspoon salt  

1⁄2 cup butter   softened (but not melted), 1 stick

1⁄2 cup honey  

1      egg  

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract  

1 cup applesauce   unsweetened

3⁄4 cup carrot   shredded 

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper, foil, or silicone liners, and set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.

In a large bowl fitted with an electric whisk (or beaters), mix the butter, honey, egg and vanilla together on medium speed. Turn the speed down and slowly add in the flour mixture until well combined. The batter will be fairly thick at this point.

Using a spatula, carefully fold in the applesauce and carrots (I used a cheese grater to shred the carrots). Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 22 to 24 minutes or until a toothpick comes and muffins are beginning to turn golden brown on top. Enjoy!
