Carrot Muffin Recipe

Breads & Desserts

Made with pureed carrots and other pantry staples, these yummy Carrot Muffins are super easy to make and great for breakfast or snacks!

Carrot Muffins

When you think about eating delicious muffins, carrots probably aren’t what first come to mind. Let’s be honest… the memories of childhood and being forced to eat carrots are probably still fresh in memory.

In all honesty, carrots are just as handy to have in your fridge/garden as are sweet potatoes (hello… sweet potato butter) and can be used in so many recipes.

A garden bounty of carrots can be used to make a variety of recipes:

  • Carrot Jam
  • Pureed Carrot Mac and Cheese
  • Carrot Rolls (great on Thanksgiving!)

Or even … carrot soap. Gasp! Carrots make amazing handmade soap!

These carrot muffins come together super quick with a few simple ingredients – starting with pureed carrots. Combine with other pantry staples and pour 2/3 full into muffin cups.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 5 minutes (this is my secret to achieving the beautiful, domed-tops!); then lower the heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Of course, these carrots are GREAT as-is, warm from the oven.  But I highly, highly recommend smothering with butter.  Butter takes anything and everything to a whole, new level.

Are these muffins for kids?

Not only are these muffins great for kids, I’d like to think they are somewhat healthy too – given that they include carrots (see what I did there? 😉)

My kids gobble up muffins and these carrot muffins are no exception. Even your smallest won’t realize you have managed to stuff a vegetable in them and make them delicious at the same time.

Substitutions and Variations:

  • Opt for non-dairy alternatives like almond milk or cashew milk, or substitute buttermilk for richer flavor.
  • Add ground nutmeg or even pumpkin pie spice (1/4-1/2 tsp) to batter before pouring into muffin cups.
  • Pour the batter in a 9×5 greased loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes for a quick bread in lieu of muffins.
  • Add raisins to the batter to change things up.
