Ingredients
Dry ingredients:1 cup whole wheat flour3/4 cup all purpose flour1/4 cup sugar1 tablespoon ground flax seed1 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon cinnamon3/4 teaspoon ginger1/4 teaspoon cloves1/2 teaspoon saltWet ingredients:1/3 cup agave nectar1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce1/2 cup nonfat yogurt1/4 cup water1 teaspoon vanilla1 1/2 cup shredded carrots (about 3)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray or use muffin liners. (I used silicone muffin pans.)

Mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the liquid ingredients. Add the liquid to the dry and mix just long enough to combine. Add the carrots stir to combine.

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups--it will be very thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
