Method

  • Preheat oven to 200 C and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  • Add the egg, mashed banana, agave or maple syrup, coconut oil and whisk to combine.
  • Next add applesauce, brown/coconut sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
  • Add almond milk and stir, then the grated carrot and combine.
  • Add oats, almond meal, almond or coconut flour and stir.
  • Divide evenly among 12 muffin tins, filling them all the way up to the top, and top with crushed walnuts (optional).
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When you press on the top it shouldn’t feel too spongey!
