When mornings call for something wholesome yet flavorful, I always turn to these Carrot Walnut Spice Muffins. Packed with texture, warmth, and subtle citrus notes, they strike a perfect balance between healthy and indulgent.

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup honey

  • ½ cup neutral oil (or melted butter)

  • 1¼ cups grated carrots

  • ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts

  • Zest of 1 orange

  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.

  2. Mix Dry: Whisk flour, baking soda, spices, and salt in a bowl.

  3. Mix Wet: In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar, honey, and oil until combined. Stir in carrots, walnuts, orange zest, and milk.
