As Simple As ABC 123

A healthy dessert that is great for a morning or afternoon snack. ABC Muffins also make a delightful dessert (drizzled with
extra honey!). Or why not spread with butter, coconut oil or nut butter for an easy breakfast on-the-go.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups oat flour
• 2½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups carrot, grated
• 1 cup apple, grated
• ½ cup raisins
• ½ cup shredded coconut
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup banana, mashed
• ½ teaspoon salt

Procedure

1. 1.  Preheat the oven to 350°F.
   2. Grease a muffin pan with the oil.
   3.  Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
   4.  Add the carrots, apple, raisins, nuts, and coconut and mix well.
   5.  Whisk together all the wet ingredients in a medium bowl.
   6.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until evenly blended, using as few strokes as possible.
   7. Fill the muffin cups till almost full as the muffins do not rise much. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops become brown. Remove from the pan and place on cooling rack. Cool slightly and serve.

Note on flour options: I have also used the combination: 1 cup oat flour and 1 cup almond flour. It comes out fabulous but it does take about 15 minutes longer to bake.

*The original recipe was taken from the book, 3 Bowls Vegetarian Recipes from an American Zen Buddhist Monastery however, I changed some things including the flour to make it gluten free.
