Healthy Carrot Muffins

INGREDIENTS

2 CUPS rolled oats
8 medjool dates, pits removed
1/2 CUP olive oil
1/4 CUP maple syrup
3–4 carrots, peeled and shredded 
2 eggs
1 TSP baking soda
1/2 TSP cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Walnuts or raisins (optional)

STEPS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grate your carrots.
2. Mix all ingredients in a blender until a chunky batter comes together.
3, Pour batter into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tops gently spring back when you press into them.
4. Smear warm muffins with butter and/or honey. Attempt not to eat them all. Serve warm or cold ALL DAY LONG.

TIPS 

1. If your dates are on the firm side, soak them in hot water for a bit first so they are easier to blend!
