Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 2 cups carrots peeled and grated
  • 1 large apple preferably tart, peeled, cored and grated
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut shredded
  • ½ cup walnuts chopped
  • cup sunflower seeds peeled
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375℉ and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
  • In another bowl combine the raisins, carrots, apple, coconut, walnuts and sunflower seeds.
  • In a separate large bowl combine the eggs, oil, vanilla and orange juice. Add to this the flour mixture and stir using a spatula until combined, do not over mix. Add the fruits/nuts mixture and stir it in.
  • Spoon the muffin batter (I used an ice cream scoop) into the prepared muffin pan. Top wit h more sunflower seeds if preferred.
  • Bake the muffins for 25 to 28 minutes or until they're cooked through.

Notes

  1. The best way to store muffins, or any kind of quick breads, is to place them into a sealable bag and leave them at room temperature. This will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
  2. Freezing any kind of muffin is pretty easy! Just wrap your muffins in aluminum foil, place them in a large freezer bag, or airtight container, and they will last up to 3 months. When it comes time to reheat, just simply place them in the microwave for a minute or until heated through.
