Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil, such as canola or avocado (or Metropolitan Market Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
  • 3/4 cup Metropolitan Market Maple Syrup
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup tart green apples (such as Granny Smith), unpeeled and grated
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup pecans (or other nuts), toasted and chopped
  • 3 Tbsp crystallized ginger, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • Turbinado sugar (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Oil 12 (2 1/2-inch diameter) cups of a muffin pan or line with paper muffin cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs to blend. Whisk in oil, syrup, and vanilla. Stir in grated apple and carrot.
