Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peeled and grated carrots
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs can substitute with 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
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or grease with oil.
  • Add grated carrots to a large bowl, along with applesauce, eggs, oil, vanilla and brown sugar. Whisk together well.
  • Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl with the carrot mixture. Whisk together again to incorporate everything.
  • Add the flour and rolled oats to the bowl. Stir until just combined. Do not over mix, as this can result in dense muffins.
  • Finally, add in the walnuts (if using). Fold them into the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling about ¾ of the way. Top with additional walnuts, if desired.
  • Bake until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20-22 minutes.
  • Allow them to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before enjoying. Once cooled completely, store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or in your freezer for up to a month.

Notes

These muffins are a great grab-and-go choice for a feel-good breakfast or hearty snack.
