Description

These healthy muffins are packed with nutritious ingredients like diced apples and shredded carrots, making them a delicious and wholesome option for breakfast or a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups diced apples, skin on (1 medium apple)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups Old Fashioned rolled oats, plus more for topping
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups shredded carrots (large grate)
  • ½ cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. To the blender, add the apples, eggs, oats, olive oil, maple syrup, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and kosher salt. Blend everything on high for a minute or two until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Allow to sit for 5 minutes (I use this time to grate the carrots), then fold in grated carrots and raisins.
  4. Place 10 muffin cups into a muffin tin and pour the batter divided evenly between the cups. Sprinkle tops with a few oats.
  5. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the muffin tin and allow them to cool a few minutes before serving.
  6. Store refrigerated for up to 10 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
