Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, honey, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Then gently fold in the chopped apple, grated carrot, and chia seeds. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage & leftovers
