Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flax
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup hemp seeds
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 medium ripe banana mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 apple cut into cubes
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • ½ cup raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with baking cups or lightly grease with oil.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs (2), mashed banana (1), vanilla extract (2 tsp), oil (1/4 cup), maple syrup (1/2 cup), grated carrot (1 cup), and chopped apple (1) until well combined.
  • Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour (1 cup), oats (1/2 cup), ground flax (1/4 cup), baking powder (2 tsp), cinnamon (2 tsp), ginger (1/2 tsp), salt (1/2 tsp), hemp seeds (1/3 cup), raisins (1/2 cup), and walnuts (1/2 cup). Whisk until combined.
  • Mix together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
  • Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool & enjoy: Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Notes

    • Make it vegan – Swap eggs for flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 2.5 tbsp water per egg).
    • Gluten-free option – Use gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free oats.
    • Nut-free version – Omit walnuts and replace with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
    • Different sweeteners – Substitute maple syrup with honey or date syrup.
