Apple-Carrot Muffins

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Serves: 12


Ingredients
  • 1 apple, medium
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 cups Flour, whole wheat
  • 1 cups flour, all-purpose
  • 1 cups wheat germ, toasted
  • 1 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cups liquid egg substitute
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 8 fluid ounces apple juice, unsweetened
  • 1/3 cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cups raisins
  • 1/4 cups pecans, chopped
Preparation:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 12 standard muffin cups with paper liners or spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Wash, core and shred apple. (McIntosh, Granny Smith, Rome, or Gala work well.) Wash, peel and grate carrot. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flours, wheat germ, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the egg substitute, oil, apple juice, and applesauce with an electric mixer.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the well of the flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the shredded apple and carrot, raisins, and chopped pecans.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling cups about 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
