Yummy muffins for the health freak! Got this recipe from the back of a Smart Balance margarine container. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup flax seed meal |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
3 beaten eggs |
1/2 cup applesauce |
2/3 cup margarine |
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk |
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice |
2 1/2 cups grated raw carrots |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional) |
1/2 cup raisins (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F; spray 24 medium muffin cups with cooking spray.
2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, softened margarine, and milk. Stir in the crushed pineapple. Add the applesauce mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
4. Fold in the grated carrots, nuts and raisins. With a large spoon, fill muffin cups- 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.
