Carrot Cake Protein Muffins

March 27, 2018 Mckenzie Hettman

We've heard so many good things about our banana bread protein muffins that we thought we should share another simple protein muffin recipe! These carrot cake muffins are made in one bowl and take about 30 minutes from start to finish. The recipe is simple enough that kids can help with every step. I give these to the kids as part of their breakfast or pack them in their lunches. They would also make a great snack for before or after sporting events or traveling in the car.

Prep time: 10 minutes | Bake time: 20 minutes | Total time: 30 minutes | Yields: 12 muffins


Ingredients 

  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (dairy milk will work just fine) 
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar (any granulated sugar of your choice)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt 
  • 1 TBSP ground cinnamon 
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg 
  • 2 cups Kodiak power cakes mix

 Method 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a muffin pan. 
  2. Mix carrot, egg, milk, vanilla, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large mixing bowl. 
  3. Stir power cakes mix into the wet ingredients until just combined. 
  4. Pour batter evenly into the muffin pan then place in the center of the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. 
  5. Let cool and enjoy!

We are days away from meeting this little one and we're so ready! Baby is probably around 7lbs right now and head down.

When food is delicious and healthy🙌🏼 I can't follow a nutrient-dense diet if it tastes "too healthy." I'll admit it! I've learned that if I'm going to follow a healthy diet, I can't just eat chicken breasts, rice, and greens. I get super bored and will immediately eat all the tacos🌮🌮🌮 That's one of the main reasons I started our blog. I think it's important for people to know that REAL food tastes GOOD! You can enjoy cooking, eating healthy, and it shouldn't feel like another boring/restrictive diet.
I could eat these carnitas stuffed sweet potatoes every day! The recipe is live on the blog if you're looking for a healthy way to eat carnitas😋
