Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
  • 1.5 cups AP flour*
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 cups shredded carrot (from 2-4 carrots, depending on size)
  • 1 large apple, shredded
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup walnut halves, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a standard muffin tin with liners and give them a good spray with cooking oil so the muffins release cleanly. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 tablespoons melted butter, 1 cup coconut sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon vanilla until well combined. Add the 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/3 cup milk, 3 eggs, and 2 tablespoons fresh minced  ginger. Whisk until everything is smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. To the same bowl, add 1.5 cups flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 tablespoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Switch to a wooden spoon and stir until just combined—don’t overmix, or your muffins will be tough!
  4. Fold in the 2 cups shredded carrot, shredded apple, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Transfer the batter to your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup completely full. These muffins are meant to be generous!
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool on a wire baking rack before removing them from the pan. Enjoy!
