Instructions

    1. Mix dry ingredients:
      In a medium bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the fresh grated ginger.
    2. Mix wet ingredients:
      In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, avocado oil, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the grated carrots.
    3. Combine:
      Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
      The batter will be thick—this is exactly what you want.
    4. Rest & preheat:
      Let the batter rest while you preheat the oven to 400°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
    5. Fill muffin tins:
      Using a 1/3 cup measure, divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins.
    6. Top:
      Sprinkle rolled oats over the tops of each muffin.
    7. Bake:
      Bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    8. Cool:
      Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Why let the batter rest before baking?

Resting the batter allows the flour to fully hydrate, resulting in a softer, more tender muffin—especially when using whole grain or fresh-milled flour.

Can I make these into mini muffins?

Yes! Bake mini muffins for about 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Can I leave out the ginger?

You can, but it adds a subtle warmth that pairs beautifully with the carrots and cinnamon.

How should I store these?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. They also freeze well.

Are these very sweet?

These are lightly sweet and meant for everyday baking—perfect for breakfast or snacks. You can always add a drizzle of honey or butter when serving if you’d like a little extra sweetness.
