Harvest Fresh Apple Carrot Muffins

These Harvest Fresh Apple Carrot Muffins are the perfect recipe for apple season: moist, filled with flavor, and so easy to make. Move over pumpkin spiced everything, there’s a new fall flavor combo in town!

Hi there – it’s Fiona stopping in from Just So Tasty and today I’m sharing this recipe for Apple Carrot Muffins that are perfect for fall.

I always love fall because it’s the perfect excuse to get back into the kitchen. The temperatures are a little cooler, everyone starts to settle back into a routine, and there’s so much delicious fall produce to cook with. If you’re looking for a fall recipe with something other than pumpkin, then these apple carrot muffins are just the thing.

Harvest Fresh Apple Carrot Muffins

They’re filled with flavor thanks to grated apples, carrots, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. If you love carrot cake, spice cake, or apple cake – then you’ll love the flavor of these muffins.

For these apple carrot muffins, I recommend using a sweet apple such as galas, pink lady, fuji, or honey crisp. I used galas and loved the flavor.

They have the perfect muffin texture that’s moist, fluffy, and perfectly soft because of a few key ingredients:

1. Oil for moisture,
2. Two eggs for tenderness,
3. And a little milk to keep them light.

What you’ll also love about this recipe is that there’s no mixer involved. First we whisk together the dry ingredients. Then in a separate bowl, the oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla, and milk are whisked together. The dry ingredients are then folded into the wet ingredients, and finally the grated apple and grated carrot are stirred in.

When making muffins, it’s important not to mix the batter too much, otherwise muffins can become tough. The muffins will bake for 15-18 minutes, and then they’re ready to enjoy.
