List of Ingredients
Makes 6 muffins
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups finely shredded carrots
1 medium apple, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup flaked coconut
6 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 6 large 3-inch muffin cups with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, stir together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda. Stir in carrots, apple, raisins, walnuts and coconut.
In a separate bowl, stir together egg whites, buttermilk, applesauce and vanilla. Add liquid ingredients all at once to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Gently spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in a pan for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins and let them cool on wire rack. (Muffins can be made ahead and frozen.)
