Muffins are one of the most common desserts all over the world. This could be because of the fact that they can be prepared in most diverse ways, the recipes are easy to make, the decorations may be very simple or extremely elaborated and, the most important, they taste fantastic.

These carrot muffins are inspired by the classical carrot cake. They bring all the flavors of the autumn and winter in your kitchen, but they are even better due to the ricotta cheese.

Enjoy them together with a cup of coffee in the morning or with a glass of milk in the evening. Either way, they will be a delight.

Carrot Muffin ingredients

First of all, split your ingredients. This is the basic rule for any muffin recipe: place the dry ingredients in a bowl and the wet ones in another bowl.

The second important rule is not to over mix the ingredients. Just stir until everything is incorporated, and then stop. This way, your muffins will remain fluffy and smooth.

dry ingredients

So, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and walnuts. You can also use some other spices, like nutmeg and ginger.

Combining the dry ingredients

Mix together the wet ingredients in another bowl: egg, oil and vanilla extract.

Mixing the wet ingredients

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ones. Use a spatula and stir only 3-4 times.

Stir in the carrot…

Adding the carrot

… and the apple and mix only until everything is evenly distributed.

This batter won't be fluid like the common one for muffins and cupcakes. It will look quite solid, but don't worry because this is normal. The final result will be smooth and tasty.

Ading the apples

Now, you have to assemble the muffins. Use a muffin tin lined with paper or silicone molds. If you don't have either molds nor muffin paper, there is another solution: grease the muffin tin with vegetable oil or melted butter and sprinkle some flour. It will keep your muffins from sticking to the walls.

Place one spoonful of mixture in each cup.

Placing the batter in the silicone molds

After that, add 1 teaspoon of ricotta cheese. Divide the remaining mixture in 6 equal portions and cover the cheese.

Adding the cheese

Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Test with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.

Let cool a little bit before removing from the molds or muffin tin.

Enjoy!
