Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (or oat bran)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large tart apples (peeled, cored and shredded)
1-1/2 cups finely shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or flaxseed meal)
1/2 cup raisins (or dried cranberries)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used light olive oil)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375F degrees and grease your mini muffin pans.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt, stirring until well blended.
Add the shredded apples, carrots, walnuts and raisins and stir until they are coated with the flour mixture and then make a well in the center of the mixture.
In a small bowl, stir together the eggs, milk and oil. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until everything is just moistened.
Fill muffin pans about 3/4 full. Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes for regular muffins and 12 to 15 minutes for mini muffins.
Remove from the oven and place on wire racks to cool slightly.
After 5 minutes or so, remove the muffins from the pans and allow to cool completely before storing or enjoy while warm.
