Carrot Apple Flax Muffins

These are basically the same thing as morning glory muffins.  I found this recipe on the bag of Bob's red mill flax seed.  Elliot loves them.  They are great for a healthy grab & go breakfast, a perfect snack, or would even make a good addition to a lunchbox.



Carrot Apple Flax Muffins

Mix:
1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
¾ cup  ground flaxseed
¾ cup Oat Germ (could sub oat flour made by grinding oats in food processor)
¾ cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
2 green apples, shredded
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
3/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

In separate bowl whisk:
¾ cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Combine dried ingredients with the wet just until moistened.  Fill muffin papers.  Bake
at 350 for 15 minutes.
