Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups packed almond meal or almond flour (10 ounces)
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats (certified gluten free if necessary)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I used pecans), or raisins or chocolate chips
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
3 eggs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup grated Granny Smith apple (about 1 1/2 apples)
1 cup peeled and grated carrots (about 3 carrots)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups (I didn't because I have full faith in my muffin pan, but use them if you're uncertain).
  • In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and optional mix-ins, if using.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs and butter. Whisk in the grated apple and carrots. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool completely before storing.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. If you like them warm, reheat them on low power in the microwave.

Time 50m

Yield 24 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 -2 tablespoon cinnamon (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2-3/4 cup nonfat milk (I use soy usually)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons applesauce, unsweetened
1 1/2 cups apples, grated
1/2 cup apple, coarsely chopped
9 dates, diced
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • To grate apples I use my food processor, but you can use a hand grater if you want. I also usually send the dates through with the apples in the processor.
  • Then chop up your 1/2 cup of apples, nuts, and dates (if not thrown in processor with apples). The apples and nuts add to the texture and the dates make it a little sweeter.
  • Combine all items from the Dry list. Then all from the Wet list.
  • Slowly add Dry to wet and mix until combined well.
  • Pour batter in sprayed muffin tin (or use papers if you like) and place in 350°F oven about 12-15 minutes. Remove and place on cooling rack.
