Healthy Breakfast Muffins like these will give you the fuel you need to get your day started. Packed with Sunflower Seeds, Chia Seeds, Walnuts, Carrots and the Orange Zest/Juice. I love the orange zest and juice in this recipe, it really stands out. These muffins are super moist, soft and filling. The perfect breakfast item with a cup of coffee or morning tea.

Ingredients:

1 Cup of All-Purpose Flour

1/2 Cup of Buckwheat Flour

1/4 Cup of ground Flax Meal

1 1/2 Tsp of Baking Powder

1 Tsp of Baking Soda

1/2 Tsp of Salt

1 Tsp of Cinnamon

1/4 Cup of Coconut Oil, melted

1/2 Cup of Pure Maple Syrup

3/4 Cup of Applesauce

1/2 Cup of Orange Juice (if using fresh oranges, juice 2 fresh oranges)

Zest of 1 Orange

1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract

1/3 Cup of Sunflower Seeds (hulled/roasted)

1 Tbsp of Chia Seeds

1/2 Cup of Walnuts, chopped

2 Small to Medium Carrots, grated finely

Directions:

-Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Line your cupcake/muffin tin with a cupcake liner. Or you can spray with a non-stick spray.

-In a medium to large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients. These include: All-Purpose Flour, Buckwheat Flour, Flax meal, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt, and Cinnamon. Whisk them together to combine.

-To this bowl, add the wet ingredients: Coconut Oil, Maple Syrup, Applesauce, Orange Juice, Orange Zest, and Vanilla Extract. Mix together well to combine with a whisk. (*Note: After making these using a whisk, these may be better incorporated using a hand mixer.)

-Next, add the Sunflower Seeds, Chia Seeds, and Walnuts. Mix together to incorporate.

-Finally, add in the Carrots and mix again.

-Fill each muffin (cupcake) liner with enough batter to fill to the top. These should be evenly divided into 12 liners.

-Bake for 25 minutes. Remove and test with a toothpick and be sure that it comes out clean.
-Enjoy!
