Tasty Tuesday

 Mom saw a recipe for Healthy Date Carrot Muffins on FB that she really wanted to try~

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup of oats (I use steel cut quick oats)
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped dates
• 1 cup finely shredded carrot 3 small-medium carrots
• 1 large egg beaten
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

 

• In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients.
• Add in dates and toss until they are well coated. Break up any date clumps.
• Repeat with the shredded carrot—add, toss to coat, no clumps!
• In a small mixing bowl beat egg with oil, milk and vanilla.
• Pour into flour mixture and stir to combine well.
• Spoon into greased muffins tins
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

  

  She had some fruitcake mix that she wanted to use so that was included in the half cup of dates mixture.  I got the left-over shredded carrots!

  The cinnamon gives the muffins a zing.   The muffins are not too sweet but very moist and yummy!   A keeper recipe, mom!
  
  Happy Tuesday!    Love ya lots♥    Duke
