Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 medium grated apple
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cups raisins
- 0.25 cups olive oil or melted coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and olive oil or melted coconut oil until well combined.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the grated carrots, grated apple, chopped nuts, and raisins until evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins also freeze well for longer storage.
