Ingredients

Carrot Bunny Muffins

• 1-1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats (dry)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch salt
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup apple sauce
• 2 large eggs
• 1-1/2 cups shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt

Garnishes

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 carrot, sliced into bunny ears on mandolin (slice the tips)

Instructions

Carrot Bunny Muffins

1. Measure the dry ingredients and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Preheat the oven to 365 degrees. Line a muffin pan with muffin cups.
2. Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl. Add them to the dry ingredients. Mix them together and mix smoothly without overmixing.
3. Scoop the muffin batter into the cups using an ice cream scoop or measuring cup to keep them uniform in size.
4. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until they are done. They are done when they spring back when touched in the center or a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.

Garnishes

1. Whip the cream cheese and pipe a star on the top of each muffin.
2. Shave the bottom of the carrots on a bias on a mandolin to make ears. Watch the video to see how.
3. Stick the carrot ears in the cream cheese to make ears for the muffins.
4. Serve or refrigerate until later.
