So if you’re looking for a healthier version to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing on taste or texture – this unique recipe is definitely worth giving a try.

Recipe

Serves 12

1 cup applesauce, unsweetened

2 eggs

1 cup almond milk, unsweetened

4 tbsp. honey

2 cups rolled oats

⅓ cup flaxseed meal

½ tbsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice mix

1 carrot, shredded

⅓ cup walnuts, chopped

⅓ cup dates, chopped

How to Prepare

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or use a silicone muffin tray.

Place all the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix until well combined.

Transfer about ¼ cup of the batter into each muffin case. Place into the hot oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until cooked through and a cocktail stick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Set the tray onto a wire rack and allow the oatmeal cups to cool, before removing from the liners.
