Ingredients

12 servings
  • 3/4 cup walnuts ((or other nuts))
  • 2 cups (lightly packed) shredded carrot (, 2 - 3 carrots (use a box grater, I don't peel))
  • 1 1/4 cups (lightly packed) shredded Granny Smith apple, (including juices (1 apple, keep skin on))
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut ((finely shredded, unsweetened))
  • 3/4 cup raisins ((or sultanas, apricots or other dried fruit))
  • 2 cups wholemeal flour (/ wholewheat flour (or plain/all-purpose flour))
  • 1 3/4 tsp baking soda ((bi-carbonate soda) (Note 2))
  • 2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger ((not critical, Note 3))
  • 1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar ((tightly packed cup))
  • 3 large eggs (, at room temperature (~50g/2 oz each))
  • 2/3 cup olive oil ((not extra virgin), or canola oil, liquid coconut oil (Note 4))
  • 1/4 cup orange juice ((sub any fruit juice or milk, Note 5))

Steps

  1. Toast walnuts 190°C/375°F (170°C fan) 8 minutes. Cool, roughly chop. Whisk dry, whisk wet in separate bowl. Add wet into dry with add-ins, mix, fill oil-sprayed muffin tin. Bake 25 minutes.

  2. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F (170°C fan-forced).

  3. Toast walnuts - Put the walnuts on a tray and toast for 8 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the tray then roughly chop into 5mm / 0.2" pieces.

  4. Spray a 12 hole standard muffin tin with oil, or line with muffin cases.

  5. Batter - Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients until combined in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients and all the add-ins into the Dry Ingredients bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon just until you can no longer see flour, then stop mixing (over-mixed batter = tough muffs!).

  6. Divide the mixture between the holes - they will mound above the rim! (See photos in post). A lever ice cream scoop is super useful here. And don't worry, they won't overflow, they rise and dome.

  7. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

  8. Cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then transfer onto a cooling rack and cool for at least another 5 minutes before grabbing on. Slathering with softened salted butter is encouraged!
