Description

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats + 2 tablespoons for topping
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 2 cups grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease the cups of a 12-cup, standard-size muffin tin.
• In a small bowl, add the flaxseed meal and water. Stir to combine. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
• Place the coconut oil in a microwave-safe, medium-size bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 20-second increments until just melted. Remove from the microwave and stir in the carrots, almond, milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the flaxseed mix; stir to combine.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined.
• Divide the batter between muffin tins; just over 1/3 cup per tin (I use a trigger-handle ice cream scoop). Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons oats.
• Bake the muffins until the tops bounce back when lightly poked and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15-18 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
