Ingredient Notes:

Carrots: The fiber in carrots is obviously so good for you. The carrots also add vitamin A & K, beta-carotene, and calcium.

Apple: Apples are super nutritious and loaded with things like fiber, and antioxidants. They do say an apple a day keeps the doctor away for a reason!

Note: You can swap and mix-in ingredients for your favs but keep the carrot & apple to maintain the moisture in these breakfast muffins

How to make breakfast muffins:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare 1 muffin tray with liners.

  3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Whisk until combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and almond milk in two increments to the large bowl and use a wooden spoon to combine.
  5. Fold in the raisins, coconut flakes, pecans, apples, and carrots. Save a few pieces of apple, pecans, and coconut flakes.
  6. Scoop the batter evenly on the prepared muffins liners.
  7. Sprinkle the saved pieces of apple, pecans + coconut on top of the muffins prior to baking.
  8. Bake for 14 – 16 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick, comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the pans immediately and onto a wire rack to cool.
  10. Serve with butter for breakfast!
