Ingredients
¾ cup hazelnuts, toasted, chopped
¾ cup all purpose flour
¾ cup dark rye flour
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
2½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1½ cup rolled oats
3 medium carrots, grated
1 small, ripe banana, mashed or pureed
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup molasses
½ cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Spread hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and roast until they're golden brown and fragrant (about 15 minutes). Cool slightly and remove the skins by rubbing nuts together in a clean dish towel. Chop coarsely and set aside.
Whisk the flours, brown sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the oats, nuts, and carrots; toss together with a spoon or your hands until the carrots are well coated with flour.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the banana, oil, molasses, and buttermilk until thoroughly combined.
Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, stirring with a fork until the batter just starts to come together.
Spoon the batter into a paper liners in a muffin tin, filling the cups to the top. Bake until the muffins are deep brown and spring back when pressed lightly with a finger, 15-20 minutes. Cool on racks.
