Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup or honey
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Shredded carrots
• 1 cup Shredded apple (peeled and cored)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or almonds
• 0.5 cup Raisins or dried cranberries
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In another medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid dense muffins.

Step 5

Gently fold in the shredded carrots, shredded apples, chopped nuts, raisins (or dried cranberries), and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your Morning Glory Muffins as a grab-and-go snack or with your favorite gym-friendly smoothie!
