Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats
2 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely shredded carrots
1 cup finely shredded apple
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons rolled oats for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line or grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
2. Add the rolled oats, eggs, applesauce, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to a blender.
3. Blend until smooth and thick.
4. Add the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, then pulse just until combined.
5. Pour the batter into a bowl and fold in the shredded carrots, shredded apple, and chopped walnuts.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
7. Sprinkle the tops with the extra rolled oats.
8. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use a firm apple like Honeycrisp or Gala so the muffins stay moist without getting watery.
Do not overblend after adding the leavening ingredients or the batter can lose some lift.
Let the muffins cool completely before storing so excess moisture does not collect in the container.
