Makes: 12 Muffins

Ingredients: 

120g plain flour
120g wholemeal flour
25g porridge oats
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
65g Greek yoghurt
2 apples, cooked and puréed

130ml coconut oil, melted
2 carrots, grated

Method: 

1. Preheat the oven to 180C° and grease a muffin tin.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the flours, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the yoghurt and apple purée until fully combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla, maple syrup and coconut oil.

4. With a spatula, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the carrot and desiccated coconut, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

5. Divide the batter into the muffin tin. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
