• 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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the shredded carrots, shredded apples, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and raisins to the dry ingredients. Stir until evenly distributed.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
