• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350° and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper muffin cups.

In a large bowl, combine almond meal, oats, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, hemp, flax, chia seeds and salt. 

In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, zucchini, carrots, melted butter, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla.
