I made these muffins a long time back, but saved for posting this time when I am on vacation as I knew I would be short of posts. I really loved the simplicity of this recipe when I saw this here in this blog. It was tasty, healthy with no maida – with carrots and wheat flour and no butter, only oil so lower in fat too. What else we need. I had these myself for snack without any guilt. You can also try this for your family for their snack and sure they are going to love this. Its been a long long time since I posted any baking recipes, so this one is perfect to break the break, stay tuned for more eggless baking recipes! I am enjoying my vacation at mom’s place and I really sorry, could not respond to the flowing mails and comments. Soon will respond to all you queries!
Eggless carrot muffins recipe

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 18 mins | Makes: 8
Ingredients
Wheat flour / Atta – 1 & 1/4 cup
Curd / plain yogurt – 1 cup
Grated carrot – 3/4 cup
Sugar – 3/4 cup
Oil – 1/4 cup + 2tblsp
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Baking soda (Sodium bi carbonate) – 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp
Salt – A pinch
Curd / plain yogurt – 1 cup
Grated carrot – 3/4 cup
Sugar – 3/4 cup
Oil – 1/4 cup + 2tblsp
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Baking soda (Sodium bi carbonate) – 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp
Salt – A pinch
Method
- Gather all the things required to the counter top. Preheat oven to 180 deg C. Mean while wash, peel and grate carrots. Keep aside. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. This is to ensure even mixing.
- In another mixing bowl, using a whisk mix well curd and oil.
- Add sugar, vanilla and mix until it is dissolved.
- Add the sifted flour mixture (dry ingredients) and mix gently. Do not over mix.
- Lastly add carrots and fold (mix gently) the mixture so that carrot is mixed with the batter.
- Line a muffin tray with muffin liner (I use two for better looks) and pour batter until 3/4 th of it. Make sure to spoon equal amount of the batter in all the muffin liners.Bake for 15- 18 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Cool over a wire rack before storing. Keeps good at room temperature for 2 days.
Notes
- Any cooking oil can be used, I used sunflower oil. Other than this, Canola, olive oil or vegetable oil is recommended.
- Do not over mix after you add the dry ingredients.
- Bake immediately once you prepare the batter.
Soft, tasty, healthy muffins, perfect for breakfast or for your kids snack box or as kids evening snack.

Hi, I follow your. Blog religiously loved all your recipes 🙂 I made these and they came out really nice just twisted recipe by adding raisins, cinnamon and one egg:) just one thing my liners were stick to muffins any idea why:)
can i use beetroot instead of carrot ?dont have carrot currently . wanted to try out immediately
I think you can try …
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried these over the weekend and they turned out delicious. While I was making these, I noticed my dough was not as runny as yours. The moment I added the flour, it became a thick mass. Tried adding more oil, but it still wasn't runny, so I ended up adding a cup of milk. Without the milk, the dough wouldn't be mixable at all. Any idea what could have gone wrong? Luckily, despite the little mishap, the muffins turned out yummy and were enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
Hey raks ur bakes are just simply great and moreover they are so simple yet eggless do just live ur recepis

Can we bake it as a cake instead if muffins?
Sure can.
Thanks 🙂 do we need to grease the muffin tray and the muffin liners before pouring the batter?
Thank you for this recipe. Today I try it with jaggery and came out well. Thank you once again
Hi , yummy cake!! Is there any way I can avoid curd and still get this eggless cake done ? My husband is a curd hater, cannot use buttermilk or curd.
Since curd this is eggless recipe, curd cannot be replaced. But you wont even know curd is there in this muffin, try and see.
Thanks for this awesome recipie…it came out very welll…..yummmy…:D

Hi, is the sugar granulated or powdered? if we use granulated, it is very difficult to dissolve it just by whisking right…
I used fine grain. It will dissolve easily
Can i double the recipe for more muffins?
Yes you can 🙂
For the first time this recipe gave me confidence to bake more. I m a beginner in baking. However it didn't cook in the middle. I set 170deg n baked for 15 mins but the top turned crisp. It was soft and except middle others were cooked. Tried it again cookies as well. Guess my oven temperature s too high. Plz advice
Please check the mode, make sure not microwave mode or combination mode or grill mode.
Hi I love your recipes. I have tried it today but my batter was not as runny as yours so added more curd. It didn't come as spongy as its in your pic. Wat should be the reason?
Next time use plain water to dilute rather than extra curd
Hi… Made these muffins today….. Yummy…. A total gastronomic pleasure…. I tweaked the recipe a bit though… Add half n half of jaggery and sugar instead of just sugar… Muffins turned out yummmm also added around 2tbsp of milk to get proper cake batter consistency
i have a convection oven can bake the muffins in that n what mould should i use
Yes you can bale. Any mould should work – non stick or aluminum
*Bake
hi raks,just now tried this in my oven in paper tea cups as i am yet to buy muffin tray.but it took more time to bake.but tasted great.please share more savory baking recipes,as my daughter is savoury toothed.
Thanks for the recipe. Muffins were fantastic. Can you tell me where in Singapore can I buy a muffin tray which holds small cupcake liners as small as 6cm approx. Since the cups are small mayby a muffin tray which can bake around 24 cakes simultaneously.
You can check in ISETAN, mustafa, Robinsons, BHG kind of shops.
Thanks a lot.
Can I bake cupcakes without a muffin tray. By placing cupcake liners directly on the tray in my oven.
It wont hold the shape, so you need a muffin tray or atleast a stiff muffin liner with rim.
Thanks.
Came out very nice and perfect , it's so healthy and tasty we don't feel guilty when we are offering to kids – thanks for sharing the recipie
Can I know it's shelf life plz
A day at room temperature, if refrigerated, can use for 3 days
Can I use Demerara sugar I only have that at home as it healthier
Sure, you can try
Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. Muffins came out delicious and super moist. I had slightly more than a cup of shredded carrots and I used them all. Thanks again!

May be your baking powder or baking soda did not work.
Hi Raks
Yesterday I tried this recipe…. Muffins came out very well and tasty… Thanks for the recipe…. Can we put apples instead of carrot.
Apples have more moisture than carrot, so you might want to change the recipe accordingly.
Hi
I tried this recipe today, muffins were soft & tasty. Thanks a lot!! Please add more such vegetarian/vegan baking recipes.

Can I replace oil by butter or coconut oil?
Sure, if using butter, measure in melted condition. Using butter will give slightly different texture.
Can we use jaggery powder instead of sugar?
you can try, i have not tried though.
Tried it and loved it!!
Can I add nuts to this recipe and how much
TIA
Yes you can. 1/3 cup chopped nuts will be perfect. Add 3/4th to batter and top the remaining.
