Servings: 12 large muffins
Calories: 260kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 large apple cored and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the cups of a muffin tin with paper liners, or spray liberally with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, butter, maple syrup, applesauce, and eggs. Set aside.
- In a second large mixing bowl, sift together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and flour. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in the raisins and apples.
- Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes, then fill prepared muffin tin cups ⅔ full. Bake in preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean, and the tops are golden brown.
Notes
These muffins freeze wonderfully. Just let them cool completely, then store them in a gallon-size zip-top bag. To defrost, just let them sit on the counter for 10 minutes, or wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
