Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups rolled oats (see Tip)
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
-
⅔ cup light brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup shredded and coarsely chopped carrot
-
⅓ cup currants or chopped raisins
-
⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
-
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut for garnish
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
-
Pulse oats in a blender until finely ground. Add cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt; pulse once or twice to blend. Add eggs, applesauce, brown sugar, oil and vanilla; puree until smooth. Stir in carrot, currants (or raisins) and nuts. Fill the prepared muffin cups (they will be full). Sprinkle with coconut, if desired.
-
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16 to 19 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out to cool completely.
Tips
Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should use oats labeled "gluten-free," as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.
Equipment: 24-cup mini muffin tin

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
