Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1 tsp | Baking Soda |
| 1 tsp | Cinnamon |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 10 tbsp | I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter® Spread |
| 3 | Eggs |
| 2 | Carrots |
| 2 | Tart Apples |
| 1 cup | Raisins |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grate the carrots and apples, and set aside. Also, gather all the other ingredients needed for the recipe.
-
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
-
Cream Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, cream together the sugar and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter® Spread until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the grated carrots, grated apples, raisins, and almonds to the sugar, butter, and egg mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Then, gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or cooking spray. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the muffin batter.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the muffins are medium golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
These delicious carrot and apple muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Simply reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving, if desired. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite! 🥕🍏🧁
