Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 5 1/2 cups Organic All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fresh Ground Nutmeg

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons Organic Grass-Fed Butter melted
  • 1 cup White Leaf Provisions Applesauce with Ceylon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Sanandi Biodynamic Revitalizing Honey
  • 3/4 cup Shredded Organic Carrot
  • 1 Pasture-Raised Organic Egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Yogurt Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup Seven Stars Farm Organic Yogurt
  • 3/4 cup Organic Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and preparing a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg, and ginger, ensuring they are well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: melted butter, honey, applesauce, shredded carrots, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then gradually pour the wet mixture into it. Gently stir everything together, being careful not to overmix to avoid dense muffins.
  • Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin and bake for approximately 12 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a clean knife into the center of a muffin—if it comes out clean, they are ready. For optimal texture, remove them from the oven just before full doneness, as they will continue cooking while cooling.
  • As the muffins cool on a wire rack, prepare the yogurt glaze. Combine the yogurt with powdered sugar, and if desired, add a few drops of food coloring for a decorative touch.
  • Once the muffins have cooled, drizzle the yogurt glaze over the top. Enjoy these nutritious and flavorful muffins as a delightful treat.
