Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 16-cup muffin tin by either spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with paper liners. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and nutmeg. In another bowl, whisk the maple syrup, Greek yogurt, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla until everything is well combined.

Step 2

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just mixed. Then fold in the shredded carrots, chopped apple, crystallized ginger, raisins, and walnuts. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each one right to the top.

Step 3

Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 18 to 22 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the tops feel springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
