Ingredients

  • ¾ Cup (180 mL) Whole wheat flour
  • ½ Cup (125 mL) Whole grain rolled oats
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Baking powder
  • 1⁄4 tsp (5 mL) Baking soda
  • 2 Eggs, large
  • 1 Cup (250 mL) Applesauce, unsweetened
  • ¼ Cup (60 mL) Brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) Canola or melted coconut oil
  • 1 Cup (250 mL) Carrots, grated

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F and coat a 24 cup mini muffin tin with non-stick spray.

  2. Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir together to combine thoroughly and gently.

  3. Add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to each prepared muffin cup and bake for 16-18 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out cleanly.

  4. Remove from oven, cool in the pan for 2 minutes, and use a paring knife to loosen the edges as needed.

  5. Serve warm, at room temp, or chilled.
