These muffins were my Auntie Pat's who recently passed away. My grandma and I baked a batch the other day from my Auntie Pat's original recipe, but I thought it would be fun to go home and try my own healthy take on them! The original recipe is relatively healthy to begin with, but uses ALOT of oil to moisten them, so here is my take!
"Sunnier" Rise & Shine Muffins
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
2 cups chopped apple
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 eggs
1 cup applesauce
2 tsp vanilla
Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Then add fruit, followed by eggs, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
My favorite thing about these muffins is that they freeze so well! And they come out so moist and fruity! A great reason to "rise & shine" if you ask me!
