Ingredients

  • 2 T ground flaxseed in 5 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 3/4 cup oat flour can be gluten-free, if needed
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats can be gluten-free, if needed
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 2 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3/4 cup soy or almond milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 to 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup walnuts ground
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup cane sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with foil liners or use non-stick or silicone pans. In a mug or cup, place the flax meal and hot water. Stir briefly; set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, coriander, cardamom, sugar and salt. Whisk together. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Add the applesauce, flaxseed mixture (which should be thickened by now), applesauce, milk and vanilla to the bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Stir in the carrots, raisins and walnuts until mixed together. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups ¾ the way up. Bake for 7 minutes at 425 degrees, then bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
