Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 cup grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, honey (or maple syrup), oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.

      Add Grated Carrots: Fold in the grated carrots until evenly distributed in the wet mixture.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. If desired, fold in raisins or nuts at this stage for added texture and flavor.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Enjoy: Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert!
