Description

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons flax meal + 5 tablespoons water
• 1¾ cups oat flour
• ¼ cup rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup applesauce
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted, or grapeseed oil
• ¾ cup almond milk
• ¼ cup coconut sugar
• 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¾ cup-1 cup carrots, grated or finely chopped
• ¼ cup walnuts, chopped
• ¼ cup raisins

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil liners, or lightly grease the pan.
• In a medium bowl, place the flax meal and water. Mix; set aside in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt until there are no chunks.
• When the flax egg is ready, add applesauce, oil, milk, sugar, and vanilla to the bowl. Whisk until fully combined.
• Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients; pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir together until the batter is just mixed, but do not overmix. You may have a few lumps; thats okay.
• Add the carrots, raisins, and walnuts and stir just a couple more times until mixed together.
• Pour the batter into the muffin cups ¾ of the way up each cup.
• Bake for 7 minutes at 425°F, then bake at 375°F for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
• Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
