Always Glorious Muffins

The recipe above in the photo is for the carrot edition, but I make this recipe all year- it's delicious with zucchini and apple in the summer.

Alternatively, I like to use mashed fruit, like banana or peaches, or any other fruit simmered on the stove into a mash (then cooled) instead of, or for half of the yogurt portion.

Obviously the nuts can be changed up and the raisins for other dried fruit or chocolate chips.

I call it Always Glorious Muffins because I use the same base recipe to make a variety of muffin flavours depending on what we have in our pantry and fridge.

Dry ingredients:

• 1.5 unbleached flour

• 0.5 cup oat flakes

• 1 tsp each baking soda & powder

• 2 pinches of sea salt

• 1 tbsp spice - like pumpkin spice, cinnamon

Combine the dry ingredients - option to stir in oat flakes after combining the wet and dry- but I often just include them with the dry ingredients.

Wet ingredients:

• 2/3 cup brown or white sugar

• 2/3 cup yogurt, or buttermilk- or mashed fruit (like banana) or pureed fruit

• 1/2 cup olive oil- or melted butter, coconut oil

• 2 eggs

Cream the wet ingredients together.

Now stir in:

• 2 cup shredded fruit- carrot, zucchini, apple

• 1/2 cup raisins - or other dried fruit, chocolate chips

• 1/2 cup chopped nuts - walnuts, any nut or seed

Bake 25 mins in buttered muffin tins at 350F.

I make 12 muffins.

This is a staple recipe in our house-
