Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with liners.
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl - Whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together oil, maple syrup, egg, vanilla and grated carrots. Add yogurt & whisk again.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl. Mix till they are just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Save some chocolate chips to top once you fill the muffin liners in the next step.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each liner. Top with the saved chocolate chips.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes at 350F or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool completely on a wire rack and enjoy!
Notes
- Make them healthier: You can skip the chocolate chips and add nuts such as pecans or walnuts along with raisins.
- Sweetness: These muffins are lightly sweetened. Increase maple syrup to make them sweeter. If you skip chocolate chips, then I suggest to increase maple syrup to 2/3 cup.
- Grated Carrots: You can grate the carrots by hand, or for an easier option, use the grating attachment on your food processor.
