Apple, Carrot, and Ginger Muffins

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 16 muffin cups with cooking spray or fit with paper liners.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Greek yogurt, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Gently fold in the carrots, apple, crystallized ginger, raisins, and walnuts.

3. 3

   Spoon the batter evenly into the 16 prepared muffin cups, filling each all the way to the rim.

4. 4

   Bake until the tops bounce back when gently pressed and a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Leave the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
