Serves: 18 person(s)
Yield: 18 x 1 muffin servings

Preparation Time: 35 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

1 cup wheat flour
1 cup flaxseed meal
1 cup oat bran
1/2 cup organic sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup whey protein powder
1/2 cup molasses
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup plain soy milk (such as Silk)
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 large apple, peel on, shredded

Directions:

Lightly spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.

In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients: wheat flour, flaxseed meal, oat bran, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, walnuts, and whey powder.

In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients: molasses, eggs, soy milk, vanilla, carrots and apple.

Add combined wet ingredients into the combined dry ingredients and stir until mixed (ingredients will be a bit runny). Divide the batter evenly between the 18 muffin cups, being careful not to overfill.

Bake at 350ºF for 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing muffins.

Variations:

Can replace wheat flour with an equal amount of spelt flour.
