Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Shredded carrots
- 1 cup Shredded apples (peeled and cored)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the shredded carrots, shredded apples, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and raisins to the dry ingredients. Stir until evenly distributed.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, olive oil or melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 23–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
