Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Carrots, grated
• 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated
• 0.5 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.25 cup Walnuts, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until slightly frothy. Mix in the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots, grated apple, crushed pineapple, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
