Pumpkin Carrot Cake Muffins

I don’t think muffins get enough credit. They’re nourishing, sweet, portable, and SO versatile. And if there is any time of year that calls for a warm, buttered muffin, it’s fall. These pumpkin carrot cake muffins are super moist thanks to a healthy dose of pumpkin (no really–it’s good for you), perfectly spiced, and pretty much fall in a cupcake liner.

  1. Hello, couldnt.fogure out how to reply lol. But I asked about adding the apples and oats. Trying to get a hint of apple in there, can I press the shredded apples and use some of the liquid from that to add to the recipe without messing up the texture? As for the oats I may have to omit that idea then unless I can figure out that whole thing. Thanks for the swift reply!

  2. Can I substitute the coconut with shredded apples? Also, I’d like to add oats. Do I just add the oats to the batter?

    • Hi Matt! Adding shredded apple will add extra moisture so it will slightly alter the texture of the muffins! I would be hesitant to add oats because you’ll need to go down on the amount of flour to make the texture correct!
