Ingredients

    Carrots, apple sauce, whole wheat flour, unbleached flour, baking soda, cinnamon, coconut oil

Tips

I halved the original recipe and also omitted the canola oil completely. I added the 1 Tbsp coconut oil for the flavor but will try next time only with apple sauce!


Directions

1/2 cup apple sauce (you can use oil also if you don't want the "lower fat" version)
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 egg replacers (flax seed and Ener-g eggs both work well)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1.5 cups shredded carrot (3 medium)
1 cups flour (1/2 whole wheat, 1/2 unbleached)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoons cinnamon or pie spice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all of the wet ingredients and the sugar in a bowl until well mixed. Add the carrots and mix.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Once both bowls are ready, mix together to form batter.
3. Pour into muffin tins and place in the oven for 18-20 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
