How to Make Healthy Morning Glory Muffins

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup oats
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
4 carrots, shredded
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut wax paper into 5 x 5″ squares, which will be used as the muffin papers.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, ground ginger, cinnamon and salt, until there are no lumps. 

3. Stir in oats, raisins and walnuts. 

4. In a small bowl, beat the egg, milk and apple sauce.

5. Add the shredded carrots to the wet mix, and stir the wet mix into the dry mix.

6. Push the papers into the muffin tin to form cups, and scoop 1/4 cup of the batter into each cup.

7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Once cooled, remove from tin.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature.
