Apple and carrot muffins
Instructions
Tips
The muffins keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for 5-7 days.
Tips
To keep them longer, store them in the fridge. We recommend wrapping each muffin in cling film. If you place them all in the same freezer-safe bag or container they might freeze together and become difficult to separate without thawing the entire batch. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.
Tips
Apple and carrot muffins are delicious at room temperature, but they are extra delicious served warm. If you do not enjoy them right after baking, a quick 10-15 seconds in the microwave can revive the fresh-baked warmth and aroma.

Add your own touch
This recipe is easy to experiment with. For a slightly denser muffin, mix 50 ml of bran into the batter. For a spicier kick, add ground ginger, and for more warmth, add ground cardamom and a pinch of nutmeg. To complement the sweet apples and carrots, consider chopped walnuts or pecans, which add nutty, deep notes to the overall flavour experience, or raisins, adding even more sweetness as well as a chewy, soft bite. You can also easily decorate the muffins for special occasions. With their delightfully sweet carrots, they are perfect for Easter celebrations. Serve them in colourful muffin liners and arrange them in a basket for a festive touch. You can also decorate them with pastel-coloured icing or cream cheese frosting, adding chocolate eggs or colourful, edible flowers on top.
