Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 16-cup muffin tin by generously spraying with cooking spray or lining with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and nutmeg. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Greek yogurt, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Fold in the shredded carrots, shredded apple, crystallized ginger, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the top for beautiful, domed muffins. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (20 minutes)

08

Step

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For best results, use freshly grated spices for a more vibrant flavor.
If you don't have crystallized ginger, you can substitute with an equal amount of fresh, finely grated ginger.
Feel free to customize these muffins with your favorite nuts or dried fruits. Pecans, almonds, dried cranberries, or chopped dates would all be delicious additions.
These muffins freeze well. Once completely cooled, wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
