Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Shredded carrot
- 0.5 cups Chopped apple
- 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Pure maple syrup
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Non-dairy or regular milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (do not overmix).
Add the shredded carrot, chopped apple, and chopped nuts to the batter. Fold gently to incorporate the mix-ins evenly.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
