Gluten Free Apple and Oat Breakfast Muffins

Inspired by Kraut- Kopf

Ingredients

• ½ cup oats (Graci Laboratories - Thin Love)

• 1 1/3 cups brown flour (Oatback Harvest)

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup brown sugar

• ½ cup golden raisons (normal is also fine)

• 2 apples, peeled, cored and diced

• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated

• ½ cup canola oil

• 1/3 cup oat milk

• Vanilla sugar and shaved coconut for garnish (optional)

Method

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a 12 cup cake tray with muffin holders or you can simply make your own by cutting slightly larger squares out of baking paper.

First prepare apples and carrot - peel, core and roughly dice apples and peel and coarsely grate carrot - set aside.

In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until incorporated. In a medium bowl, mix together baking powder, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. 

Fold dry ingredients into the sugar/egg mix. Once it begins to become dry, add oil and milk as well carrots, raisons and apples. Mix well until all combined. It should be a rather thick, crumbly mixture.

Spoon into muffin tin, filling each muffin cup to the top. If you would like a crunchy topping, sprinkle each muffin with vanilla sugar and coconut. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden on the top.

Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Equally grab one and go!
