Delicious and nutritious muffins that incorporate oats, carrots, and applesauce, perfect for any time of the day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup peeled and grated carrots
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs (can sub 2 flax eggs)
  • ¼ cup olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1¼ cups whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts (plus extra for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375℉. Prepare a standard muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with oil.
  2. Combine the grated carrots, applesauce, eggs, olive oil, vanilla, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly to blend.
  3. Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk again to mix all the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
  4. Gently stir in the whole wheat flour and rolled oats until just combined. Avoid over mixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  5. If using, fold in the walnuts.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Optionally, sprinkle additional walnuts on top.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before diving in.

Notes

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven for best results.
