Ingredients (Makes 12 muffins)

1 cup (120g) raw almonds

1 cup (100g) shredded carrots (about 2 medium carrots)

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup (120ml) milk

Instructions

Prepare the Carrots and Almonds: Secure the crank cheese grater to your countertop with its stable suction base. Use the 2-blade set and food pusher to safely shred the carrots into fine pieces, perfect for moist muffins. Switch to the 5-blade set to grind the raw almonds into a smooth powder, ensuring a nutty texture. Transfer both to a large mixing bowl.

Mix Dry Ingredients: Add flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl with the carrots and ground almonds. Stir to combine evenly.

Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—avoid overmixing for tender muffins.

Bake the Muffins: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Tips and Variations

Nut Swap: Use walnuts or hazelnuts with the 5-blade set for a different flavor.

Sweet Twist: Add 1/4 cup raisins or chopped dates for extra sweetness.

Gluten-Free Option: Substitute with gluten-free flour.

Serving Idea: Pair with a smear of cream cheese or butter.
