Healthy Carrot Muffins
6 portions
35mIt's the muffins that are healthy. Not the carrots. I wouldn't even know how to tell if a carrot was healthy. I mean, they're probably healthy. At least healthy for you. I dunno, I'm not a vegeterinarian.
What you will need
1 lb. Carrot
8 Pitted Dates
1/2 cup Olive Oil
1/4 cup pure Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon
2 Eggs
2 cups Rolled Oats

3
Preheat the oven to 350°F
4
Peel the carrots and grate them on a standard box grater.
5
Place the dates in a blender or food processor.
6
Add the olive oil.
7
Add the maple syrup.
8
Add the salt.
9
Add the baking soda.
10
Add the cinnamon.
11
Add the eggs.
12
Add the grated carrot.
13
Add the rolled oats.
14
Blend to a rough puree. You don't want the batter perfectly smooth, and you probably won't even be able to achieve that. Just blend until you get an even mix.
15
Grease a muffin pan with spray oil. I prefer a 6-muffin pan for this recipe. The larger muffins will take longer to cook.
16
Pour the batter into the muffin tin.
17
Bake for about 25 minutes for larger muffins, 20 minutes for smaller muffins.
