The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tbsp unsulphured molasses
  • 1/4 cup avocado or olive oil
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups oat bran
  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
  • 1/4 cup flaxseed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • 1/3 cup Medjool dates (pitted & chopped)
  • 1/3 cup walnuts (coarsely chopped)
  • Cooking spray

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, line 12 muffin tin with unbleached parchment paper muffin liners and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, molasses, oil and vanilla extract; whisk well to combine. Set aside.
  • In another medium mixing bowl, add oat bran, flour, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir with spatula to mix until no lumps, transfer to a bowl with wet ingredients and stir gently just enough to combine. Do not over mix and let batter sit for a few minutes to thicken, then stir a few more times.
  • Add raisins, dates and walnuts. Stir a few times just enough to incorporate.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, divide batter evenly between 12 openings of a muffin tin and bake for 10 minutes in preheated to 425 degrees F oven. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (no need to wait for oven to cool off) and bake for another 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
  • Remove muffins from the oven, let muffins cool for about 5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool off a bit more.
