Apple Carrot Muffin (V)

Ingredients:

Makes about 12 muffins

2 cups whole wheat flour
1½ cup old-fashioned oats
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
3 eggs
1 cup grated apple (about 1 apple)
1 cup grated carrots
6 tablespoon coconut oil
½ cup honey

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips (if using).

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, apple, carrots, melted coconut oil, and honey. Add to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a knife inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Allow muffins to cool completely.
