CARROT-APPLE MUFFINS
Cooler weather has arrived, and as always, my mind wanders to fall produce with apples at the top of the list. These tender, lightly sweetened, moist muffins taste like carrot cake, spice cake, and apple cake combined. These muffins freeze well and can be quickly reheated in the microwave on a low temperature for a quick breakfast.

CARROT APPLE NUT MUFFINS
This recipe came from Mother Earth News Magazine. It has a great texture, not too sweet and nice and moist. Everyone in my family loved it. I made them for breakfast tomorrow morning but I don't think they will last that long! I reproduced the recipe as it was printed, but next time I think I will use a little more ginger and cinnamon.

Steps:
- 1. I use the food processor with the chopping blade to prepare the carrots and apples. Chop until carrots are very finely chopped. remove from FP bowl and set aside. Chop apples to about 1/2 inch dice and set aside. Grind flax seed. Mix streusel topping and set aside. Measure out all dry ingredients, mix well and set aside.
- 2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream all wet ingredients in mixer bowl. Make sure eggs and yogurt are not ice cold from the fridge, so they don't solidify the coconut oil. Mix in the dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in dry fruit, nuts, or ?.
- 3. Scoop the batter into lined muffin tins almost 3/4 full. Top with streusel mixture. Bake for about 25 minutes or until light brown. Enjoy!
CARROT ZUCHINNI APPLE MUFFINS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine dry and wet ingredients separately. Combine mixtures; mix until just moist. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are firm and not too sweet, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This should take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
These apple carrot muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They're packed with flavor and nutrients, and they're easy to make. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious treat, give these muffins a try!
