Ingredients
- ½ cup extra-virgin or refined coconut oil melted (not hot, just slightly warm)
- ½ cup no-sugar added applesauce
- 1 cup molasses
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups whole wheat flour fluff the flour before measuring with a light hand
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups cooked and cooled quinoa
- 1 ½ cups shredded carrots
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two 12-cup muffin tins and set aside (or you can line them with paper cups).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, applesauce, molasses, eggs, and vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix lightly with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula; there should still be a few dry streaks.
- Fold in the quinoa, carrots and chia seeds until just combined (don't overmix).
- Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full and bake for 18-22 minutes until the tops spring back lightly to the touch (or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean).
- Let the muffins cool for 2-3 minutes in the tin before gently sliding out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Whole Wheat: I prefer using white whole wheat instead of red whole wheat flour since it has a lighter texture but either will work fine just take care to use a light hand when measuring the flour since overflouring will make the muffins dense and dry.
- Quinoa: also, make sure the cooked quinoa you use hasn't been cooked in broth; just water and maybe a pinch of salt.
