During a busy teaching day, I like to stay fueled with these power muffins--they're tasty, easy to make, and so packed with vitamins and nutrients that they can hold me for a long time. This is especially important for the days I'm teaching back-to-back classes and don't get to my lunch until later in the afternoon. If you, too, find you need a healthy snack between meals, whip up a batch of these She Works Hard for the Money Power Muffins!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
2 tablespoons almond meal
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup vegetable oil or coconut oil
1/3 cup coconut milk
2 eggs
1 shredded granny smith apple
2 shredded carrots
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Oil muffin tins. Combine all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients. Slowly combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Fill greased muffin tins about two-thirds full with batter. Bake until lightly browned, about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
