Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium crisp sweet apple, peeled and grated
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
- Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool and chop into small pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, coconut sugar, applesauce, avocado oil, vanilla extract, grated apple, and grated carrots. Stir well until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the shredded coconut, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each of the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 25-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
