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 oats
- 2 Tbsp sweetened 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 carrots grated
- 1/2 cup sweetened 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.
