Morning Glory Muffins (aka Better than Bran Muffins)



This is another recipe from my old friend, Heidi Huser. These muffins are as delicious today as they were 20 years ago. Lots of fiber from carrots, apples, and whole wheat flour. Enjoy!

Morning Glory Muffins

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour (WW pastry flour works well)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger

2 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 raw apple, diced or grated

Combine sugar, oil, egss, and vanilla in a large bowl; set aside. In another bowl, sift together remaining dry ingredients. Add to liquid ingredients and stir. Gently fold in carrots, raisins, and raw apple. Spoon into greased muffin tins about 2/3 full. (Cupcake papers make clean-up a breeze!)

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

These are so good, I've been asked to make another batch today!
