Moist and Yummy Carrot Apple Muffins

 

1 cup oats

1 cup flour (spelt)

2 tsp baking soda

Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves few dashes of each. (I always use more cinnamon)

2 scoops vanilla whey protein (optional)

3/4 cup melted coconut oil (olive or grapeseed)

1/2 cup raw cane sugar

1/2 cup applesauce

1/4 cup Greek yogurt 

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups shredded carrots

1/2 cup coconut shredded

1/2 cup raisins (optional)

1/2 cup walnuts or hemp seeds 

 

Blend together and bake for 20 minutes at 350.

 

I cut the sugar back from 1/2 cup, used unsweetened coconut but the applesauce was sweetened.  If you don't have Greek yogurt just add more applesauce.  These are a high protein muffin, so should stay with you.  Enjoy!

 

These have quickly become a favourite at our house..... You be the judge!
