Superhero Muffins

Ingredients

2 cups almond meal

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup chocolate chips

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

3 eggs, beaten

1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 zucchini)

1 cup grated carrot (about 2 carrots)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper muffin cups.

In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, oats, walnuts, currants or raisins, if using, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, zucchini, carrot, butter, maple syrup, and vanilla.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups filling each to the brim. Bake until the muffins are nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 to 35 minutes.
