Yummy flax-bran-carrot-apple muffins

This is my favourite muffin recipe. Hearty, nutty, sweet, full of all sorts of good stuff, and an excellent use of that rogue apple that is too soft to eat.

Bob's Red Mill Bran Flax Muffins
1 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
3/4 cup flaxseed meal
3/4 cup oat bran
1 cup brown sugar (you can do it with about half this amount, if you want)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 cup carrots shredded
2 apples peeled and shredded
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup nuts chopped
3/4 cup soy milk (I use regular milk)
2 eggs beaten
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together the dry ingredients (flour to cinnamon) in a large bowl. Stir in carrots, apples, raisins, and nuts. Combine milk, beaten eggs and vanilla. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until ingredients are moistened. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes. Yields 15 medium muffins.

Enjoy!

  1. Ok, finally tried it! YUMMY! They smell so good as they're baking in the oven and they're delicious. Grating the apples & carrots didn't take as long as I expected, which was nice. I used whole wheat flour and chopped almonds, and I used soy milk. Oh, and about 1/2 to 3/4 the brown sugar. Thanks for the great recipe!
