Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup steel cut oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 2 Tbsp steel cut outs
  • 2 Tbsp shredded coconut unsweetened
  • 2 each egg
  • 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 cups fresh carrots grated
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Whisk whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and allspice together in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk eggs, applesauce, honey and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk in coconut oil. Gently stir in the flour mixture until just moistened. Fold in carrots, 1/2 cup coconut and raisins. Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oats and coconut. Bake the muffins until they spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

    Serve warm or at room temperature.
