- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
- In a large bowl, mix the grated carrot and apple, cinnamon, lemon zest, chia seeds, sugar, ¼ tsp salt, oil and eggs, until combined.
- Set aside for 5 mins, or until the chia seeds have expanded a little. Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a separate bowl.
- Stir the carrot mixture into the dry ingredients to form a batter. Divide evenly between the muffin cases, and then scatter over the oats. Bake for 15-18 mins, or until risen and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and leave to sit for 5 mins, before arranging the muffins on a wire rack to cool completely.
