Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

• 1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 cups grated apple

• 1/2 cup whole milk
  

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon coconut flakes

• 1 teaspoon hemp seeds

• Raisins ( use as much as you like)

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease muffin tin pan with butter.
• Lightly beat egg in a small bowl. Add applesauce and mix.
• Add flour and oats and mix all together
• Add the rest of the ingredients leaving out baking powder and coconut flakes for the last and mix well.
• Now add baking powder and mix
• Scoop out prepared batter into muffin tins. Try to fill up the tins to the edge.
• Sprinkle coconut flakes on top of scooped batter and bake for about 20 minutes or until light browned. You may also test for doneness with a chopstick by inserting in the center of muffin. If the chopstick comes out clean it means muffin is well done.
• Remove pan from oven and allow to cool for few minutes. Remove muffins from tins and transfer to a cooling rack to further cool.
• Serve warm with milk or any beverage of choice.

HALIMA’S TIPS

• The sweetness of the grated apple and raisins will do just fine. You may add 1 teaspoon honey if you want your muffins to be more sweet.
• Adding the baking powder last creates air bubbles and makes the muffin fluffier
