• 1.5 cups Grated carrots
• 1 cup Grated apple
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 units Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Canola oil
• 0.5 cup Non-fat milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

In another bowl, mix together the grated carrots, grated apple, raisins, and chopped walnuts. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4

In a third bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, canola oil, and non-fat milk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; be careful not to over-mix. Gently fold in the carrot mixture.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your nutritious low sodium morning glory muffins!
