Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup almond milk

  • 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 ½ cups grated carrots

  • ¾ cup chopped pineapple, drained

  • ¾ cup raisins

  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons molasses

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line muffin cups with paper liners.

  2. Whisk almond milk and vinegar together in a small bowl; set aside until curdled, about 10 minutes.

  3. Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Combine carrots, pineapple, raisins, and walnuts together in a separate bowl.

  4. Whisk 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar, olive oil, molasses, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cardamom together in a separate bowl. Mix curdled milk mixture and sugar mixture into flour mixture just until batter is mixed; fold in carrot mixture. Spoon batter into muffin cups until each is completely filled and domed.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

They can also be made into bread. Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 8x4-inch loaf pan and bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Soy milk or rice milk can be used in place of the almond milk.
