Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 cup tart apple, shredded
- 2 cups carrots, shredded
- ⅓ cup coconut, shredded
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup walnuts
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with liners. Spray the liners with cooking spray and set aside. This recipe makes 14-15 muffins, so you may prep a second pan or bake the remaining muffins after the first ones finish and cool enough to be removed from the pan.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and flaxseed.
- Add the apple, carrots, coconut, raisins, walnuts, and sunflower seeds and stir to combine.
- In another bowl combine the eggs, vegetable oil, and pineapple juice.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until combined.
- Scoop into the prepared muffin liners, filling them completely.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes then lower the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for an additional 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
