Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons applesauce, or more as needed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

Step 2
Beat milk, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in another bowl. Stir carrots into flour mixture; fold in milk mixture and butter until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
