Ingredients

140 grams (1 1/8 cups) whole-wheat pastry flour

5 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

½ cup olive oil (or reduce olive oil and add yogurt)

1 tablespoon honey (I skip this)

70 grams (1/3 cup) packed dark brown sugar (I use 1/3 cup *date paste)

1 small apple, grated, and juices reserved (1/2 cup)

½ cup grated carrots or butternut squash or parsnips

½ cup grated zucchini or beets

55 grams (1/3 cup) raisins

40 grams (1/2 cup) unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup walnuts (my addition)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tins.

2

In a large bowl, combine the eggs, olive oil, honey, brown sugar, grated apple and juices and grated vegetables.

3

Place a sieve over the bowl and add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Sift into the bowl.

4

Fold in the raisins and coconut.

5

Fill each muffin cup 3/4 of the way up, and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes for mini-muffins and about 20 to 22 minutes for regular muffins. The muffins are finished baking when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

6

Serve warm with butter. I also like to mix a little honey with softened butter for serving.

Notes

*How to make Date Puree (Makes more than you will need for this recipe): 1 cup dates, packed • 1/2 cup boiling water • Add boiling water to dates and let soak 10 minutes. Blend in a blender or food processor until smooth. You can add a little more water if needed to make it mix well. Store in the freezer. It will not freeze solid so you can easily take out what you need.
