Simple Carrot Oat Muffins in Just One Bowl

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 350°F. Toss the carrots into a big mixing bowl and give them a good mash with a potato masher until they're broken down but still a bit chunky. Next, stir in the brown sugar, oil, and egg until everything is well combined.

Step 2

Add the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl, then mix gently with a wooden spoon just until the dry ingredients are moistened—don’t overdo it. Fold in the cranberries so they’re evenly spread throughout the batter.

Step 3

Scoop the mixture into 12 muffin liners, and sprinkle some pecans on top for a nice crunch. Pop the muffins in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before taking them out of the pan. If you want, you can freeze these muffins for up to three months.
