Ingredients

  • 90 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 90 g Flour, Whole wheat

  • 120 g Sugar, white

  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, ginger, ground

  • 3 pieces Egg, fresh

  • 180 ml Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 80 g Honey

  • 2 piece Carrot, fresh

  • 1 piece Apple, fresh

  • 0.5 cups Raisins

  • pieces Orange, shell

  • 0.5 cups Walnuts

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place paper liners in the muffin tin or grease them with butter. Finely grate the apple and carrot, and roughly chop the walnuts.

  2. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, and sugar. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a hand whisk until well combined. Add oil or melted coconut oil, honey, grated carrot and apple, raisins, orange zest, and walnuts. Mix the ingredients well, then quickly fold in the dry ingredient mixture. It's important not to overmix the batter, just enough to combine and moisten the ingredients.

  3. Fill the muffin tin cavities three-quarters full with the prepared batter. Before placing it in the preheated oven, tap the tin on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes. They are done when they turn golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  4. Transfer the baked muffins to a wire rack and let them cool. Store them in an airtight container.
