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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the grated carrots, grated apple, chopped nuts, and raisins until evenly distributed in the batter.

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 20-25 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 tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins also freeze well for longer storage.
