This recipe is packed with good things - whole wheat flour, flax seed meal and pineapple. This recipe came from Smart Balance Butter and that is the type of butter you should use in this recipe - however you can use any butter you like. It is also good with I can't believe it's not butter. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup flax seed meal |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
3 eggs, beaten |
1/2 cup applesauce |
2/3 cup smart balance butter spread, softened (smart balance 67% buttery spread) or 1/2 cup oil (smart balance omega oil) |
1/2 cup milk |
1 (12 ounce) can pineapple, crushed (with juice) |
2 1/2 cups grated carrots |
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
1/2 cup raisins (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F Spray 24 medium muffins cups with cooking spray.
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl; whisking together. In a separate bowl combine the eggs, applesauce, butter or oil and milk.
3. Stir in the crushed pineapple and then add the applesauce mixture to the dry ingredients; stirring just until combined.
4. Fold in the grated carrots, nuts and raisins. With a large spoon; fill muffin cups 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 25 minutes or just until lightly browned.
