Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour spooned and leveled
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 3/4 cup grated honeycrisp apple with skin on lightly packed
- 3/4 cup grated carrot, peeled lightly packed
Instructions
- Position your oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 350 F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with silicone or paper liners and set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients. Whisk until combined and set aside.
- To a new large mixing bowl, add all wet ingredients. Whisk until completely smooth.
- Add wet ingredients, apple, and carrot to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing your batter or your muffins will be tough.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan, distributing evenly. You'll fill each muffin cup almost to the top.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes or until the tops of your muffins look set. You'll know they're done when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool before eating.
