    Vegan Carrot-Walnut Muffins

    Published: Apr 1, 2013 · Updated: Mar 4, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Carrots and orange juice concentrate pair up in these moist vegan carrot muffins, providing a dose of vitamins A and C, as well as an enticing golden color. Make them in the evening; enjoy a warm muffin for your evening snack, then the next day for an on-the-go breakfast. Or, pack a couple in your or your kids' lunch box with fresh fruit for a change of pace from a sandwich. Photos by Hannah Kaminsky of Bittersweet Blog.

    Yield: 1 dozen

    • 1 ¾ cups whole wheat pastry or spelt flour
    • ¼ cup wheat germ or ground flaxseeds, or half of each
    • ¼ cup natural granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • ½ cup applesauce
    • ½ cup orange juice, preferably fresh
    • 2 tablespoons safflower or other neutral oil
    • 1 ½ cup firmly packed finely grated carrot
    • ¾ cup raisins or dried cranberries (or substitute other chopped dried fruit)
    • ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
    • Rolled oats for topping, optional

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Combine the first 7 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together.

    Classic vegan carrot muffinsMake a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the applesauce, juice, and oil. Stir until completely mixed. If the batter is too dry, add a small amount of orange juice to loosen it, but let it remain a fairly stiff batter. Stir in the carrots, dried fruit, and walnuts.

    Divide the batter among 12 foil-lined muffin tins. Sprinkle with oats, if using. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center tests clean.

    Transfer muffins to a plate or rack when cool enough to handle.
