Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients
2 cups flour ( whole wheat is best but all purpose is fine as well)
1/2 cup flax seed
2 tsps baking soda
1 large chunk of ginger minced (or 1-2 tsps ground ginger)
2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
1 orange juiced
1-2tbs orange zest
1-2tsps orange extract ( if you have - otherwise its just as good without )
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup nut of your choice
2-3 carrots shaved
1 apple diced
1/2 golden raisins
Instructions
In a large bowl Combine flour, flax seed, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and orange zest and set aside.
In seperate medium bowl whisk the eggs then add in oli, apple sauce, honey and orange juice, and orange extract till you achieve one consistency.
Into the wet ingredients fold the following shaved carrot, raisins. diced apple, sunflower seeds and nuts
Pour the above mixture into the flour ensuring that all ingredients have fully integrated.
line muffin tray or use oil/ butter to avoid having the muffins stick - scoop 1/3 cup of batter into each to start and then use whatever is left to even out the muffins - as best you can- or make them uneven on purpose.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins. I tend to check at 15 mins and go from there - I also like to keep my muffins on the lower rack so that they brown slower- this will depend on your oven.
cool and serve or store for a nice healthy snack ! Play around with fruit and nut combinations and ratios and please send me your results and ideas !
