Carrot and Ginger Muffins (vegan)
Makes approx. 12. These are pretty gingery, but if you’re less fond of it than I am you could happily leave it out.
1 cup wholewheat spelt flour
½ cup white plain (all purpose) flour
½ cup rolled oats
2/3 cup sugar
1tsp bicarbonate soda (baking soda)
1tsp cream of tarter
2tsp ground ginger
1tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup grated carrot
1/4 cup chopped crystallised ginger
1 un-waxed orange
½ cup oat milk or other milk
¼ cup sunflower oil
Pre-heat oven to 180˚ C / 350˚F. Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add zest of the orange.
Whisk milk, oil and orange juice together and stir into dry ingredients. Stir into dry ingredients until just combined. Divide evenly between paper muffin cases in a muffin tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Listening to my mother and writing up recipes for the things I bake anyway. It certainly makes for blog material when I’m busy pattern writing. Enjoy!

If being a professional knitting designer doesn’t work out, you can always write cook books! :D

These sound veeery interesting! Like something I should try for eating with afternoon tea! I have been running across so many vegan recipes lately I’m eager to try one (I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I tend more towards the latter). Thanks for sharing and just wanted to say those photographs are gorgeous!! I cannot for the life of me make food look appealing when I photograph it. ;)

I will definitely be making these for my vegan husband and brothers…thanks! I hope some of the pattern-writing you’re doing is for Posie - I absolutely can’t wait to knit it!

I made these and they were wonderful. I did a few substitutions, using only plain white flour, subbing in 2 tsp “pumpkin pie spice” for the 2 tsp ginger, canola oil instead of sunflower, and using regular 2% milk. The only downside is that 1/4 cup crystallized ginger cost about $8.50 here…so I’m going to have to try and find it in bulk or something–since I’m definitely making these again!

I made both the muffins and cake over the weekend. The muffins were awesome. Unfortunately for the cake, the avocadoes were full of flavour (for a change- I came home and could smell them from the front door- whereas normally bland but creamy) nonetheless, the texture was superb, and I’m looking forwards to more standard avo’s so I can try again
