Clock 45min Cook
24 Servings

Ingredients

  • 3 c. whole wheat flour
  • 3 tbsp. ground flax seed (optional)
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. honey
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 1/2 c. shredded carrots
  • 1/2 c. cranberries (optional- or nuts would be good)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray oil on two regular-size 12-cup muffin tins or two large 6-cup muffin tins.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, ground flax, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the honey, eggs, vanilla and applesauce.
  • Stir the ingredients together until just combined and there are still some spots of flour remaining.
  • Fold in the shredded carrots and cranberries just until combined (don't over mix or the muffins will be dense).
  • Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups and sprinkle some oats on top.
  • Bake for 20-24 min for large muffins (mine came out perfect at about 23 min) or 18-20 min. for regular-size muffins, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool completely, Enjoy right away or make extra to freeze for a quick snack!
