Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with muffin liners. We suggest spraying your muffin liners with cooking spray just in case.
  • Next, use a cheese grater or food processor to grate apple and carrots (skin on or off, your preference!). We prefer to use a medium/large grate, so that we can taste the apple and carrot chunks.
  • Place grated apple and carrot on top of 2 pieces of paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
  • Measure out ½ cup of shredded apples and ½ cup shredded carrots and place into a medium-size bowl along with the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix.
  • In a large bowl, crack 2 eggs and whisk. Add maple syrup, applesauce, orange juice, and vanilla extract, and mix again.
  • Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and then mix.
  • Finally, add in melted coconut oil and mix again.
  • Fill each muffin cup only about 3/4 of the way full (these are going to be fluffy muffins!). Top each muffin with shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and flax seeds (optional). 
  • Then, place in the oven at 350ºF and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the center is fully cooked.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes and zest with fresh orange zest. 
  • Then, remove from the muffin tin to continue cooling.
