Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup or honey
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 1 cup Shredded apple (peeled and cored)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or almonds
- 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid dense muffins.
Gently fold in the shredded carrots, shredded apples, chopped nuts, raisins (or dried cranberries), and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 22-25 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 for 5-10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Morning Glory Muffins as a grab-and-go snack or with your favorite gym-friendly smoothie!
