Superhero muffins recipe

Ingredients (Serves 12)

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1⁄2 tsp. fine sea salt
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 zucchini)
  • 1 cup grated carrots (about 2 large carrots)
  • 6 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce
  • 1⁄2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: chopped walnuts, dark chocolate chips, or raisins

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350̊ F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt, and walnuts, raisins, or chocolate chips (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, zucchini, carrots, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  4. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned, or until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25-35 minutes.
