Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Kosher salt
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp walnuts, finely ground
- 3 large eggs
- ⅔ cup canola oil
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, (about ½ cup apple) peeled, cored, and grated
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- ½ cup raisins
- ¼ cup toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a standard muffin pan with muffin liners. In a large bowl, combine 1½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1½ tsp baking soda, 1½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp Kosher salt, and ½ cup crushed walnuts. Whisk to combine.
- Mix wet ingredients, then combine with dry. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, ⅔ cup canola oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently until just barely combined.
- Fold in remaining ingredients. Add ½ cup grated apple, 1 cup shredded carrots, ½ cup raisins, and ¼ cup coconut flakes, then mix a few more times, just to incorporate. Fill each muffin tin about ⅔ full, then sprinkle each with the remaining crushed walnuts.
- Bake the muffins. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 22-25 minutes. The muffins will appear dark in color from the whole wheat flour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then enjoy!
