Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (see Notes)
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1½ cup shredded apples
- 1½ cup shredded carrots
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons water
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 7.5 oz pumpkin
- ½ cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flaxseed and water and set aside until it thickens into a gel, about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl combine the all-purpose flour, oat flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Set aside.
- Into the bowl with the flaxseed mixture, add the sugar, pumpkin, oil, and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth. Fold in the apples and carrots using a spatula.
- Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the pecans using a spatula.
- Evenly dish out the batter in the muffin pan and bake them in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before taking them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
No pumpkin pie spice? Just use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground clove.
Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free 1-to-1 flour for the all-purpose flour (1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 baking flour is 148g). Make sure oat flour is gluten-free.
