Nutty Hemp Seed Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (or sweetener of choice)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk of choice)
  • Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, hemp seeds, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and milk until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
  5. If desired, fold in any optional add-ins such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, serve your nutty hemp seed muffins as a delicious and nutrient-rich snack or breakfast option. Enjoy!
