I recently got a new juicer (Hurom juicer) and I LOVE it so much! Where has it been all my life? So being new to juicing I quickly realized that each time you make a juice there is pulp as well. And that pulp doesn’t need to go to waste! There are so many great ways to use it. Today I am sharing this delicious Healthy Juice Pulp Muffin recipe using the pulp from the delicious Carrot Pineapple Orange Juice I made.

Maybe I’m weird but I thought the pulp was so cool! Here you see pulp from a few carrots, 1/2 a pineapple and 2 oranges.

I made the batter for these delicious muffins using healthy ingredients like white whole wheat flour, applesauce, and honey instead of any sugar. Then for the last step, I simply added in the pulp I had from the juice I had previously made.

Please note you can still make this recipe if you don’t have juice pulp! Just substitute another shredded vegetable. I suggest carrot but I’m sure many other vegetables and even fruit would work. If you’d like to make it the flavors I did I would suggest 3/4 cup shredded carrot, 1/4 cup crushed pineapple and 1/2 tablespoon zest of an orange.

The batter is added to a greased muffin tin and then put in the oven for about 18 minutes.

  13. These were delicious! I use some beet and kale as well and wonderful; avocado oil instead of butter, coconut sugar and a little soy milk instead of honey.

    Any idea of the nutrition content/calories?

    • I’m so glad you loved it! I would suggest finding an online nutrition calculator to find out the nutrition content and calories. Especially since you made some substitutions. Thanks for your comment! 🙂

  14. Oh my gosh…yummmo! This was my first attempt at making juice pulp muffins and they were AMAZING! I used fresh pulp from the carrots, orange and ginger juice I made this morning (2 carrots, one orange, and a couple slices of ginger which yielded roughly one cup of pulp). I used organic whole wheat flour and the only adaptations I made were that I substituted the 1/2c honey for a little over 1/4c organic maple syrup, I did not use vanilla extract because I didn’t have any, and I used cinnamon apple sauce because it’s what I had in the frig. Baked them for 15 minutes. They turned out amazing, very moist and had great flavor. The 1/4c of maple syrup worked fine, though I may up it next time to the 1/2c to see how that adjusts the flavor/sweetness. I think, regardless of what pulp you are working with,this recipe should be the basis for any great fruit pulp muffin.
