- Quick and Easy Carrot Cake “Blender” Muffins (Vegan, WFPB, GF, Oil-Free, Refined Sugar Free)
These Quick and Easy Carrot Cake “Blender” Muffins are so hearty and so delicious that it’s almost a shame that I’m forced to list all of the things they aren’t (for SEO purposes) before I can tell you how amazing they actually are. They are vegan and whole-food plant-based, which means they don’t contain any dairy or egg, but they also happen to be gluten-free, refined sugar free, oil free, soy free, and they can be made nut free by simply not putting the nuts on top.
Now that I’ve gotten everything they are not out of the way, I can tell you that these are pretty much the easiest muffins you’ll ever make. Whole ingredients are put into a blender in two stages, before being combined, and then divided into 6 lined muffin cups. This recipe makes the perfect amount of muffins to make for an individual to eat throughout the work week, or for a family to enjoy on a weekend morning.
Did I mention that they taste like CARROT CAKE?

I hope you enjoy this one!
They look delicious! I absolutely love carrot cake, so will be making these for sure! Yes please, more muffin recipes!
Thank you so much, Julie! I'm making more flavors as we speak!
Also: Lemon poppy seed muffin would be bomb too!
I've been wanting to test that next, but I haven't had poppy seeds!
Yes please! My fav! And oil free here!!!!
I think a cranberry muffin with nuts would be fantastic.
I agree! Thanks.
Yes yes yes more muffin recipes please 😀
They're coming!
I'd juiced a carrot (and drinked it) and i used the "waste" for the recipe
Wanted to let u know that I tried oil free banana muffins before and yours r far the best.I love it.Thank u so very much
Yay! Thanks so much! I agree. Haha.
You are brilliant I tried it today they came out super delicious and I am going to try this recipe as a carrot cake thank you
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed them! I'm still making these weekly. I also have a few other videos with other flavors that use the same recipes!
Hi Monson this looks great, would love to see a lemon poppyseed one or banana one, Have a wonderful weekend :)
Thank you so much, Gaye! I have one very similar coming out soon!
I agree on lemon poppy seed muffins!
They look yummy! I recently started baking with oat flour to try to get my picky toddler to eat something healthy. I was surprised how similar it tastes to white flour.
Thanks! I really like the taste of oat flour. It just adds so much more to the muffins.
I love Whole Food Plant Based recipes……..so healthy…..thank you…….WOW…..will be making these delicious looking muffins
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I'm in my first trimester of pregnancy and am tired of making my cinnamon maple banappleberry oatmeal every morning so finding something healthy to make ahead of time, so I am not standing over a stove every morning is going to make life just a bit nicer for me. I love that you include chickpea flour, as it's a nice extra bit of protein.
Made these today - yummy spring break treat that I will make more often. I replaced some of the oat flour with wheat and some of the banana with oil (haha, reverse healthy modifications). And I used some minced apple in place of the raisins. Excellent texture and love the coconut in there
Yay! So glad you enjoyed them! You gotta make a recipe your own. My mom makes these all the time, but with her modifications. Haha.
Awesome... Love the idea of having them as a travel snack as well🥰
Thank you. They have been so perfect just to have around the house, or to snack on when I need a little something sweet. I keep making them, and I keep eating them. haha.
@@MonsonMadeThis LMAO I don't blame you
Brilliant recipe going to definitely try these they look yummy as I'm new to vegan lifestyle so adding these to my list of foods thanks 😊.
Thanks! Welcome! My mom still makes a batch of these weekly. She's obsessed with them.
I made this recipe in a loaf pan. Delicious, thank you!
That's such a good idea! I need to try that.
Chickpeas are so nutritious! I love having a recipe with extra nutrition like this.
A super easy recipe ……thank you……great idea to take a batch when travelling or for in hotels rooms…….Thank you they look delicious ……..high five
They look delicious, and I can’t wait to try them. Will you please make the chocolate muffins that you were talking about? I’d love any others, apple, blueberry, banana, etc. Thank you so much for sharing another great video. Oh, and I just made your chickpea bodega style egg sandwiches again the other day, with Beyond Meat Breakfast Sausages. Wow, we’re they good! 😊
Thank you! I've tested chocolate one, orange ones, and lemon ones... I just need to perfect them a bit before I share them. Stay tuned!
MORE MUFFINS!!! I NEED A PUMPKIN MUFFIN!!!
one question... have you ever tried Chia seed "egg" instead of the chicken pea flower?
Oooh! Pumpkin is a great idea! I've tried it once, but I didn't really notice it? Plus it leave black specks... It's not bad. But I'm really into chickpea flour these days.
Melissa, I use ground flaxseed-as egg replacement.
Hi! This recipe looks amazing ☺
If I wanted to make this into a loaf instead of muffins, how should I change the cooking temp/time?
They look delicious can you make a chocolate orange muffin thanks
Thanks!!! I have a chocolate one and an orange one, but not an orange and chocolate one. Sound great!
After watching I already know it’s going to be so good!! I make something similar to this. Going to try your recipe 😊
Thanks! Give it a go, and let me know how it turns out!
Yes please. Chocolate muffins.
I've got "Tropical" muffins coming in the next day or two. Stay tuned! Chocolate will come one day, I promise!
Made this delicious and healthy muffin recipe.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a sweet comment. I really appreciate it.
Looks delicious! And yes please give us ALL the muffin recipes.
Thanks! I'm working on 'em!
Yes, we want to see them all!
You've got it!
I made these this weekend! They are so good!
I'm excited for the orange flavor. Orange and cranberry?
Thanks, Katie! I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Love the orange cranberry idea!!! Orange with Craisins! Stay tuned.
This turned out pretty good. I thought I had chickpea flour, but after I got most of the things together I realized I chucked it because it tastes terrible and figured I'd never use it again. So I used 3 tbs egg replacer. The texture was pretty good. Although I probably could have scaled back on the baking soda a little since the replacer has some I believe. Also could use a touch more sweetness for me personally. Might try adding another tbs of maple syrup or brown sugar next time. Thanks monson!
Chickpea flour is AWFUL in its raw state. It's truly horrific. If you tasted it in something before it was cooked, yeah, it's the worst. You should give it another go, especially for baking. Did you use the amount of egg replacer to replace 1 egg? And yeah, I made these on the unsweet side. For most folk (my partner included), they'll want to make them a bit sweeter.
@@MonsonMadeThis it is!!! I was surprised because I like chickpeas but the flour is foul! Lol. I followed a recipe for peanut butter chickpea cookies and after they were baked they were sooooo bad! I used 3 eggs worth of egg replacer, should I have used just 1? It turned out good but had a little bit of baking soda taste and not as sweet as I would have liked but with a little Saskatoon berry jam is was lovely. I also made a second batch using lemon extract and poppy seeds which was nice but could have used some lemon zest I think. Very artifical lemon taste lol.
@@MonsonMadeThis it made another batch and used lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar, I also used the zest of a whole lemon and a couple packets of true lemon crystals. I also decreased the egg replacer to just 1 tbs and added a couple more tbs of maple syrup. Turned out great!
Thank you for this recipe!!!
Thanks, this will be a good use for the carrot pulp that i usually discard from my juicing
Carrot pulp would be perfect. In fact, pretty much any pulp would work here. Good idea!
I just made these, but used tapioca flour instead of chickpea flour. They are super yummy!!!
Interesting. So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
This popped up in my suggestions and I thought you were back with new content. Hope you’re doing well man.
I can't wait to make these!! 😊
Soooo I just made these and at first when they were fresh they were pretty good. However, the next day I was not a fan. The chickpea flour gave them a horrible aftertaste! I would recommend using a flaxseed egg or chia seed egg replacement instead of chickpea flour, but that’s my personal opinion and preference.
Just found your channel and am loving it. Joined and everything. I, too, am happy to see any and all muffin recipes. We love oil-free, WFPB confections. I have a feeling I'm going to love all of your recipes. Thank you for your videos and all the useful information..
Welcome! Happy that you found us! These muffins really are incredible. I've truly not been without them since I started making them. I keep playing with flavors and ingredients... I'll definitely be sharing more versions of this soon. Thanks so much for watching and joining!
I'm definitely going to be making these for nursing school. Thanks
That's a great idea! Let me know how they turn out.
@@MonsonMadeThis Its a winner! I put pumpkin seeds on top and cranberries inside. Delicious! Its sweeter than I thought it would be which I love. Thanks :)
You had me at quick and easy and blender.
It's such a cool trick! I'm actually about to make another batch right now.
Gotta try these, love that it uses healthy oats! Other flavors: blueberry and chocolate-chocolate chip 😋
I've got a great chocolate one in the works, and blueberry is on the list for sure! Thanks!
This looks delicious and I love that it's oat flour. I'm going to make this and let you know how I go. Thanks for sharing as always!
Thanks! Can't wait!
Your recipes are wonderful. Now I have a new one to try. Thanks!
Thanks, Margarite! I appreciate it.
They look amazing and I will definatly be making these this week. Thanks for sharing the recipe
Thanks, Peter! Let me know how they turn out!
Going to try this one for sure. :)
I'm still in love with these. They are such a great, easy muffin. I also have 2 other flavors on my channel that can be made the same way.
Hey Monson, first, thank you for the recipe. I have not watched your channel in several months and noticed your weight loss immediately. I went back to your channel and was pleased with your new ‘lower fat’ recipes. Resubscribed! Going to try these muffins after the cheese sauce 👍
Thanks! Let me know how the recipes go if you give them a try!
Great recipe! Thank you! 😊
Thanks so much, Beth!
yum
Thank you!
Only 200 calories? Lacking oil helps a lot, but a 200 calorie snack is like eating 16 Dorito chips. NOW that that's out of the way, I can't wait to try these as a desert. I love carrot cake! Other versions of this would be awesome. The orange would be especially fun -- I used frozen o.j. concentrate to sweeten a salad dressing recently which turned out tasty. How about coffee flavored? Trade out the almond milk? A million years ago I added instant coffee to bar cookies and loved it.
Actually, I just refigured on Cronometer, and they're closer to 170... The original "under 200" was the chocolate version. So, eat up!!! I just tried a lemon version and they came out great. Orange is also really really good, too. The chocolate ones have a bit of coffee in them! I'll definitely share more the more that I test! Thanks!
Yummy.
Thank you!
Look delicious!
Thank you!
Love your stuff, Monson... and your name, too!
Thank you and thank you!!!
Can I substitute aquafaba for the chickpea eggs? If so what would the correct amount be? And would I have to whip in up first and then fold them into batter at end?
Looks yummy
Thanks, Sandra!
Thank you !
Thank you right back!!!
Perfect. My Dad's favorite dessert is carrot cake. Hopefully, I will get to see him in person again some day soon and make these for him. However, this looks simple enough, with "normal" kitchen ingredients, so he could make it himself. To really entice him, would a drizzle of thick cashew cream add anything to the carrot cake taste? Mind you I am working with someone from a super SAD diet and much highly processed foods.
I think the best way to transition to a vegan or plant-based way of eating is too find ways to make and eat your favorite foods, but just the vegan or plant-based version. If he loves carrot cake, then make him a vegan carrot cake! Give these a go and let me know what y'all think!
Carrot cake was the first vegan cake I made that actually turned our BETTER than the normal one my mum used to make and it has become my fam's favourite! Having said that, it was far from healthy considering that I added quite some oil and brown sugar in there :D I think I'll have to experiment with your recipe to make my own version a bit more whole-food based! Do you think in place of raisins I could add more grated carrot? Also, how about substituting the banana with apple puree? That's what I usually do with my carrot cake as I am not a fan of banana aftertaste in any non-banana :D
.
Anyways, these looked delicious and no doubt they tasted fantastic!
Thanks for another great recipe and have a great week ahead!
Lots of love!
I think more carrot would be fine, as long as it's squeezed out, or the liquid is compensated for. I think apple sauce would work well, too. I just don't know the exact amount to use...
@@MonsonMadeThis Sure! Experimenting with baked goods is always a trial and error :D Thanks for the response!
I've come back to this recipe b/c I like using steel cut oats in place of rolled for added nutrition. How do you think this would be with pumpkin puree in place of banana?
Thanks for combing back! I think pumpkin would be great.
The outcome would be less sweet with pumpkin, but I am sure you've already considered that.
Yummy!
Thanks, Doris!
Strawberry "cream cheese" muffin would be awesome
That sounds amazing!
Super delicious muffins! I stumbled upon this video and made your recipe this evening for my family. They didn't rise as well as yours and I'm not quite sure why, but they were fine and I'll certainly make them again. I have a similar recipe that includes pineapple. Thank you for sharing your scrumptious recipe with the world!
I'm so glad you enjoyed! I've been making them nonstop. I have a video coming out soon where I made these using the leftover pulp from making homemade oat milk. They come out great!
Delicious
Thanks!
Does the banana taste come thru strongly, or is it pretty subtle? I'm not a big banana fan, but would love to try these. You seems to be a real kitchen magician, Mr. Monson!
So, the ripeness of the banana seems to affect the banana flavor. When I've used more yellow bananas, it's pretty much not there at all. When I've used very ripe bananas, it has a subtle banana bread aftertaste. If you're not a banana fan, I would use the most yellow banana I could find. Thanks!!!
@@MonsonMadeThis Thank you!!
So I bought a 'nana and didn't make these until it was super ripe, duh. I made them with carrots, coconut and chopped dates (cannot stand) cooked raisins. The banana does shine thru a bit. I see according to Mr Google I could sub applesauce. So that's my plan for next time. They are super good and esp with Fall/Winter approaching I want them more!
yummers
Thanks!
Nice, thanks. At 3:10 you say baking flour. I’m pretty sure you meant baking powder. Way to go. Your weight low is obvious.
Haha. Yeah. There's always one of two "Easter eggs" left in... Thanks, Sue!
Looks great! I'll have to try it. How do you like the NutriBullet?
Thanks. I love it. I talk about it a bit more in my recent kitchen gadget video... As long as it's not a large quantity or as long as I'm not trying to blend hot ingredients, it's the only blender I use. My Vitamix gets no love.
Hello Monson, Love your recipes, man! If oats, bananas and dates are problematic (highly allergic) can you suggest your work arounds or go to substitutions? Thank you. Kind regards, Mark
Thanks! In terms of the oats, you could just use 1 1/2 cups of whatever all-purpose flour works for you. In place of the banana, you could use 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce. And the recipe doesn't have any dates in it, so you're good to go there!
@@MonsonMadeThis Michael, Thanks again! going to these tomorrow. looking forward to the upcoming muffin recipes.
I would do them today but my bananas are still green 😅 Will do in a couple of days for sure !
I've found that the riper the banana, the more banana flavor in the muffins. So, depending on how much you want the banana flavor to come through, should determine when you use the bananas. Let me know how it turns out!
Do you happen to have a vegan plant based chocolate cake recipe?
Not yet. However, the chocolate version of these muffins is so good! I actually tested the recipe again today... As soon as that comes out, I could definitely see using that batter to make a cake. Stay tuned!
Monson Made Yay! Looking forward to it! Thank you 😊
Oh My, I'm greedy! I'd love a banana bran please. Thanks.
I've never cooked a bran muffin. I might need to try it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
If the chickpea flour is made from sprouted chickpeas it’s a lot less bitter, actually it has just a hint of bitterness.
I've never seen sprouted chickpea flour. Is it difficult to find?
These look good...did you add the coconut?
I think I forgot... But it's so good with it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I haven't looked yet, but I'm only assuming that if you use steel cut oats or Oak growth, do you have to cook it first?
Nope. It all gets ground to a flour. The amount is different, though.
I used Medjool dates instead. Five of them
Good to know! Thanks!
You opened the banana from the wrong end lol looks amazing though can't wait to try 😁
The what?! I never! Haha.
Could you provide nutritional content on this recipe - calories etc?
169 calories each. 28.8g carbs. 3.2g fiber. 5g fat. 3.3g protein. (when made with unsweetened almond milk and 2 tablespoons shredded coconut)
What is the replacement for chickpea flour? Is chickpea puree ok?
No….
Why not use the liquid from chickpeas? Or flax seeds with water. Also there is another vegan egg replacements. I dont innerstand why he is using chickpea flour when there are so many other good choices.
Just need to ensure your oats are gluten free for those who are GF. I didnt see on your website where it says to use gluten free oats or in the video.
Thanks for the recipe.
Could you possibly sweeten this with just whole dates?? If so how many would you use?
I've tried sweetening things with dates, and I'm not really a fan. I can never get them down small enough, and I just don't think it saves any calories at all.... You could always just leave out the sweetener if you don't like maple or coconut sugars. The banana and carrot do a decent job of sweetening things up.
@@MonsonMadeThis Thanks!!! yes, I think I'll leave the sweetner out then.
Try experimenting with Dr. Greger's date syrup recipe. You'd want to make it less watery for using for baking with :))
l'm guessing you want dates to keep the recipe whole food? lf yes, dates or banana are the best sweetener. You could also try with extra banana maybe?
@@TraceyMush Yes, I have date syrup and thought of using it, but thought it would be too watery. The extra banana sounds like a great idea! Thanks
@@cattitude7809 I would try making a batch using 1 very ripe banana, and just omit the sweetner. I accidentally forgot the sweetener when making a batch, and they came out great. Not sure what an extra banana would to to the texture or structural integrity of the muffins.
orange or lemon muffins
I've tested both flavors. I just need to perfect them a bit. Stay tuned!
I don’t have chickpea flour can I use an egg?
My mom does it all the time. I don't eat eggs, but she does, and she makes these about once a week using egg.
@@MonsonMadeThis how many eggs to use
You can use a flax egg instead. 1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds and 3 Tablespoons water, let sit for about 5 minutes or a little longer and use like an egg.
What oven do you use?
I used my Breville Smart oven on the convection bake setting.
