Carrot-Apple-Raisin Muffins Recipe


Submitted by nicoley

Makes 24 servings


Originally called "Bran Flax Muffins", but I thought that focusing on the sweetness rather than the roughage would be more appealing.. My 3 year-old calls them "tasty muffins". Moist, sweet, and insanely healthy.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups whole wheat
3/4 cups ground flaxseed
3/4 cups oat bran
1 cups sugar, brown
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups carrots, shredded
2 apples, peeled, shredded
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tbsp grapeseed oil
Directions
  1. Mix together flour, ground flaxseed, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir in carrots, apples, and raisins. In a separate bowl, combine milk, beaten eggs, vanilla and oil. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Do not overmix.

  2. Fill muffin cups ¾ full. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees celsius) for 15 to 20 minutes.
