Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Carrots, grated
• 1 medium Apple, peeled and grated
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with the water. Stir well and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes. This will act as your flax egg.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add the thickened flaxseed mixture to this and mix well.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the grated carrots, grated apple, raisins, chopped walnuts, and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy these muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month.
