Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant or quick oats); 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg; 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened; 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar; 1 cup Mott's(R) Cinnamon Applesauce; 2 large eggs; 2 cups finely shredded carrots; 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts; 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant or quick oats)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1 cup Mott's(R) Cinnamon Applesauce
2 large eggs
2 cups finely shredded carrots
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2
Whisk the flour(s), oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3
With a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for about 3 minutes until a thick paste forms. Scrape the beaters and the bowl.
4
Add the applesauce and eggs and beat on medium-low speed until the sugar paste breaks up and a loose batter forms. Stir in the carrots, walnuts, and coconut.
5
Gently stir in the flour mixture just until it is incorporated--don't over mix. The batter will be very thick.
6
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, mounding it to the brim of each paper liner.
7
Bake for about 25 minutes, until the muffins are browning on top. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
