Yours madly muffins -- my super healthy style muffins with carrot & oats

Lets indulge our kids today with some muffins ..adding some healthy twist without letting them know what they are eating exactly. This is one of my favourite recipe that I like to bake for my girl.. Super healthy Carrot & Oats muffins.








Ingredients:

White flour (Maida): 1 cup
Roasted Oats: 5 tbsp
pinch of salt
Baking powder: 2 tsp
Baking soda: 1/2 tsp
Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup (you can use white normal sugar also)
Veg oil: 1 tbsp.
Yogurt: 3 tbsp.
Milk: 3/4 cup
Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp
Grated Carrot: 1 pc
Cinnamon powder: 1 pinch


Method:

Sieve the maida, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder in a large mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon powder. In the meantime, preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius. Dry roast the oats in a pan and keep aside to get cool.

In another bowl, add the yogurt, oil, milk, vanilla essence, sugar and mix them  very well. Add the grated carrots into this mixture and blend very nicely. Now pour this mixture into the dry ingredients. Now add the roasted oats into this and again give a nice mix. This batter need not be very smooth and running . You will be amazed by the aroma and flavour of the grated carrots and cinnamon powder while mixing all these ingredients. That's heavenly I bet !! And the cinnamon powder will balance the flavour/taste of carrots so nicely that the kids would hardly get to make any guess that you have made them eat vegetable in their muffin.


Now get the muffin moulds ready . I use silicon moulds for baking so no greasing etc. is required. If you are using aluminium moulds/tin, then grease and line them with oil/butter and some dry maida. Fill the moulds with the batter with the help of a big spoon and arrange them in a baking tray.



Now these will go into  the oven for 35 minutes at 180 degree Celsius in convection mode of microwave. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the muffin comes out clean.
Enjoy these delicious muffins with your cuppa and serve your kids with their glass of milk.





Happy baking!!
