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 Salt
• 1 large Overripe banana, mashed
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 0.33 cups Pure maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups Grated carrot
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, egg, pure maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, grated carrot, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these healthy fruit muffins fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
