” Put it All Together” Make it YOUR Own Options 

 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C. Grease your muffin tins and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 1 can of slightly drained crushed pineapple, 2 eggs, ¼ cup of olive oil, and ½ cup brown sugar. Add ½ cup oat bran, and whisk again.
  • Add 1 cup spelt flour, ½ cup all purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger over the top. 
  • Lightly whisk the dry ingredients together, then switch to a wooden spoon or spatula and stir into the wet ingredients until just combined. 
  • Add 2 cups grated carrot and ½ cup chopped walnuts, stirring to distribute evenly through the batter. Spoon into prepared muffin tins.
  • Bake for 30 min, rotating the tins half way through. The muffins are done when a sharp knife inserted into the center has only a tiny bit of batter clinging to the sides
  • Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes in the muffin tins, then gently release the muffins from the tins, and Let Cool! 
  • MAMA”S Take: Your littles don’t like blueberries substitute with coconut, rasberries or pomegranite!
