Dry Ingredients-

6 tbsp whole wheat flour

¼ cup white flour

½ cup protein powder (I use 1 1/2 scoops of Garden of Life Raw Fit Original Protein Powder

2 tbsp shredded coconut

¼ cup raisins

¼ cup walnuts (25g), chopped

¼ tsp salt

¾ tsp cinnamon

a dash of nutmeg

1 tsp baking soda

½ cup grated zucchini (108g)

1 cup grated carrots (110g)

Wet Ingredients-

2 tbsp butter

2 eggs

¼ cup apple sauce

3 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp honey

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, make sure the oven rack is positioned in the center of the oven, and line a muffin pan with 10 muffin tins.

In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients together, except the carrots and zucchini, and mix well. Then add the carrots and zucchini and mix again.

Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Be careful not to over heat, instead cook till it just melts. Then transfer to a medium sized bowl and add the rest of the wet ingredients. Whisk together with fork to mix thoroughly. Make sure you transfer to a new bowl and don’t mix everything in the pot u melted the butter in because the heat will begin to cook the egg and you don’t want that yet.

Then add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.

Divide the batter evenly between 10 muffin tins and bake for about 30 minutes. Once done enjoy your muffins! To store, let cool completely then place on plate and cover with plastic wrap. If you place plastic wrap over then too soon, condensation (accumulation of water droplets) can make your muffins soggy and go bad quicker. The muffins are best the first day but will last up to about 4 days.
