I have been looking
for a snack alternative for my toddler, so I made good use of the bandh
(strike) day in Kathmandu and whipped up these simple muffins. They are
low-sugar and have oats and carrots in them, and are still very tasty. And of
course, they don’t require a mixer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup quick cooking oats
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
- ⅓ cup melted butter (can substitute vegetable oil)
- 2 small eggs
- ⅓ cup plain yoghurt
- 2 grated apples
- 1 small grated carrot
- *you can also add grated beet for colour, I add about 1-2 tablespoons
Directions
- Stir oats and yoghurt together. Set aside, best if you can let it stand for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Add melted butter, sugar, and beaten eggs to yoghurt and oat mixture. Stir to combine and dissolve the brown sugar a bit.
- Add oat mixture to flour mixture. Stir just to combine.
- Fold in grated apples and carrot.
- Fill muffin tins 2/3 full with mixture.
- Bake at 175 C for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
