Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 cup oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted and cooled) or olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded apple (approx. 2 medium apples)
- 1 1/2 cup shredded carrots, packed
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tray with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients including almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt and mix to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk to scramble. Then add the coconut oil, honey, yogurt and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
- Add the shredded apple, carrots, raisins, walnuts, and coconut to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Pour half of the flour mixture into the wet mixture and stir to combine. Add the remaining flour and stir until no dry spots remain. The batter will be thick.
- Scoop approximately ¼ cup of the batter into the prepared liners, making sure each is about the same size.
- Bake on the middle rack for 24-26 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown, cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cool muffins completely before enjoying or else they’ll be doughy. Once cool, enjoy as a snack or with a side of eggs, bowl of yogurt or protein shake for a balanced breakfast.
Notes
Low Glycemic baked goods are usually high in carbohydrates and sugar, which can cause inflammation, spike blood sugar and lower the immune system. Instead, this recipe uses a small amount of unrefined sugar from honey, gluten free flours, whole food ingredients and healthy fats for a baked treat that’s less inflammatory and more blood sugar friendly.
