    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 20 minutes
    Total Time: 35 minutes
    Servings: 16 muffins

    Ingredients

    • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour or white whole wheat flour
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 2 tsp cinnamon
    • 3/4 cup honey or maple syrup
    • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 1/4 cup apple, shredded
    • 1 1/4 cup carrot, peeled and shredded
    • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
    • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray two muffin tins with cooking spray. (This recipe makes about 16 muffins)
    • In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl combine honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, applesauce, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Fold in apples and carrots.
    • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients making sure not to over mix. Fold in walnuts and shredded coconut.
    • Divide batter among muffin tins filling each almost to the top. Bake in for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
    • Let cool in pan for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    • Save time and shred in the food processor: Just like my carrot cake recipe I suggest shredding up the carrots and apples in a food processor versus a grater. It saves a lot of time and is less of a mess. You can also skip peeling the carrots and apples. I like to leave the skin on for added fiber!
    • Substitute what you have: Raisins, flax seed or wheat germ would also be great additions to these muffins! Orange zest would also be great for a hint of orange flavor!
    • Make sure not to over mix: The muffin batter. This will lead to a denser tougher muffin. I only mix the dry ingredients just until combined.
