Carrot Orange Oatmeal & Walnut Muffins

• Muffin
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 3/4 cup wholewheat flour
• 1/4 cup oat bran
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup raw sugar
• zest of 1 orange
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 10 ounces carrots, freshly grated (from about 2 large carrots)
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons agave syrup
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped finely
• 1/2 cup raisins
• Topping
• 1/4 cup pepitas
• 1/4 cup raw, unsalted shelled sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons dessicated coconut
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Combine all the dry ingredients (including orange zest) in a large bowl, and whisk to combine
2. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until combined, add the melted butter, yogurt, orange juice, agave syrup and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
3. Mix the grated carrot, raisins and walnuts into the dry ingredients. Then pour in the wet ingredients and fold together stirring until combined.
4. Pour tablespoonfuls of the mixture into medium sized muffin pans, lined with muffin papers.
5. For the topping, combine all ingredients and sprinkle teaspoonfuls on top of each muffin. Press slightly into the muffin with the back of the spoon to ensure the seeds are stuck to the muffins and won't fall off after baking.
6. Bake at 400F for ~20 minutes, rotating the pans part-way through cooking. The muffins are cooked when they are golden, springy to touch and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave the muffins in the pans to cool for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
