Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups - whole wheat flour
  2. 1 teaspoons - baking powder
  3. 1 teaspoons - baking soda
  4. 1/2 teaspoons - cinnamon
  5. 1/4 teaspoons - salt
  6. 1/2 cups - vegetable oil
  7. 1/4 cups - unsweetened apple sauce
  8. 2/3 cups - maple syrup
  9. 3 - large eggs, at room temperature
  10. - orange zest from 1 orange
  11. 1/4 cups - orange juice
  12. 1 teaspoons - vanilla extract
  13. 2 cups - carrots, grated (about 2 carrots)
  14. 1 cups - green apple, grated (about 1 apple)
  15. 2/3 cups - walnuts, chopped
  16. 2/3 cups - raisins

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside. Since this recipe yields 16 muffins, I use one 12-muffin pan and one 6-muffin pan (with 4 liners).

2. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, add wet ingredients: vegetable oil, apple sauce, maple syrup, eggs, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and using a spatula, fold it in. Try not to over mix the batter.

5. Add grated carrots, grated apple, raisins and walnuts. Fold everything in, again, try not to over mix.

6. Using a 3-tablespoon ice cream scoop, divide batter between 16 muffin liners, filling them all the way to the top.

7. Bake in pre-heated oven at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Take them out of the oven and let sit on the counter for 5-7 minutes in a muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool off completely.
