Grab your favorite mixing bowl and start adding your wet ingredients along with granulated sugar.
How To Make Cinnamon Muffin Recipe
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line 16 cupcake cups from a cupcake pan with foil or paper liners (I used foil liners).
- Place eggs, pureed carrots or apple sauce, greek yogurt, sugar and grated carrots into a large mixing bowl. Heat coconut oil in the microwave to soften to liquid or near liquid and place into mixing bowl being careful not to allow the coconut to harden. Mix to combine. Add flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, baking soda and baking powder, stirring to combine.
- Fill each liner 3/4 full with batter. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon and turbinado sugar if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes clean from center. Remove and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Add your pureed carrots or apple sauce then add your dry ingredients next!
Ground cinnamon and ginger for just the right spices.
Perfect! Ready for a good mix.
I like to use a medium sized cookie scoop to fill the cupcake liners. A spoon works fine too.
Fill em’ up, about 3/4 full.
I sprinkled the tops with cinnamon and turbinado sugar.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes clean from the center. Let cool and enjoy!
