Ingredients

  • 2 whole Medium Fuji Apples Peeled And Grated
  • 1-1/2 cup Peeled, Grated Carrots
  • 1-1/2 cup Wheat Flour
  • 3/4 cups Flax Seed Meal
  • 3/4 cups Oat Bran
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Allspice
  • 3/4 cups Milk
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 4 Tablespoons Flax Seeds
  • 1 cup Optional Add-ins (Nuts, Dried Fruit, Chocolate Chips, Etc.)

Method

  • Peel and grate carrots and apples, splash with lemon juice and set aside.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients. If you have no oat bran on hand, use oatmeal that has been pulsed in the food processor until chopped but not ground. Mix carrots and apples into the dry mixture. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients, add to the dry mixture, and mix only until combined. Add flax seeds and any optional ingredients. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.
  • I have, in the past, used a flax meal substitute for the eggs (1 tablespoon flax meal and 2 tablespoons water) and it has worked out fine. Just a word of warning, this is a very high fiber muffin.
