Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour or oat flour for gluten-free option
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey or maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are some lumps.
  • Fold in the grated carrots and zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as part of your brunch spread or as a convenient grab-and-go breakfast option throughout the week.
