Ingredients

    3/4 cup ground flaxseed
    1/4 cup wheat germ
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 cup oats
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 Tbs molasses
    1/4 cup shredded coconut
    2 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    2 Tbs ground cinnamon
    1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
    1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts
    1/4 cup dried cranberries
    1/4 cup raisins
    3/4 cup milk
    1/4 cup vanilla soy milk
    2 eggs
    1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.

2. Add molasses, applesauce and carrots, mixing well.

3. Mix together the wet ingredients: milk, soy milk, vanilla, and eggs.

4, Add wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until evenly moist.

5 Add batter to paper-lined muffin cups, filling 3/4 of the way.

6. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

These muffins freeze well. I've not met a dried fruit that hasn't tasted great in this batter, so be adventurous and make this recipe your own.

Makes 24 muffins.

    Very Good
    Although these were not what I expected, they are good. Next time I will reduce the cinnamon and add a few chocolate chips. Maybe add some cocoa powder and drop the cinnamon. - 7/24/12
