Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cup Ground Flax Seed I use golden flax
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts
  • 1/4 cup Raisins
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Applesauce
  • 1 small Banana mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups Shredded Carrots
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Apple
  • 1/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Oil I used sunflower
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners or spray with cooking spray.
  • Mix the dry ingredients: Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients until mixed.
  • Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together just until combined. Do not overmix or the muffins will turn out gummy and chewy.
  • Bake: Fill the prepared muffin pan with the batter. Fill the cups almost to the top for a high dome. Reduce the oven heat to 400°F and bake the muffins for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to 360°F (do NOT open the oven door!) and finish baking for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins spring back when lightly pushed.
  • Cool: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
