Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cup Spelt Or Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Flax Seed
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/3 cups Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Agave (or If You Don't Have This Add An Additional Tablespoon Maple Syrup)
  • 1/3 cups Apple Sauce, Unsweetened
  • 1/2 cups Vanilla Coconut Yogurt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1-1/2 cup Grated Carrots (1 1/2 Cups Is About 3 Medium Carrots)
  • 1/3 cups Chopped Walnuts

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 F and line a 12-count standard size muffin tin with liners (don't skip the liners or the muffins will be impossible to get out of your tin).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, ground flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate, small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, agave, applesauce, coconut yogurt, water and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just incorporated. Don't over-mix! Fold in the carrots and walnuts.
  • Scoop batter into the muffin liners. You'll want to fill them right up to the top to get 12 large muffins.
  • Bake for about 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from oven. Cool for at least 5 minutes.
