Ingredients

120 grams wholemeal flour
40 grams rolled oats
45 grams brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon baking soda
250 ml unsweetened apple sauce
50 grams grated carrots
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons rapeseed oil or melted coconut oil
45 grams raisins (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C and coat a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray.

  • Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir together to combine thoroughly, but gently.

  • Add a heaped 1 tablespoon of the batter to each prepared muffin cup and bake for 1822 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out cleanly.

  • Remove from oven, cool in the pan for 2 minutes and use a paring knife to loosen the edges as needed. Tilt in the pan to allow air to circulate underneath or transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  • Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
