Morning Glory Muffins

My creation, moist and great flavor

Ingredients

  • 1 c. canola oil (or 1/2 c. oil and 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1-1/4 c. sugar
  • 2 t. vanilla
  • 2 c. all-purpose unbleached white flour
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 2 t. baking soda
  • 2 t. cinnamon
  • 1 apple, grated
  • 1/2 c. raisins
  • 1 c. grated carrot (see note)
  • 1/4 c. unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 c. chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla.

Stir in dry ingredients; mix well.

Fold in apple, carrots, raisins, coconut and nuts.

Spoon into greased or paper lined muffin cups until 2/3 full.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Let sit in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

NOTE: I used my food processor to grate the carrots. You can also buy them pre-shredded.
