List of Ingredients



• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1-1/4 cups sugar
  
• 2 tsp baking soda
  
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 tsp coarse salt

Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease or line a muffin tin.
   
   
2. Measure the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the carrots, coconut and apple. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and vanilla and pour into the flour mixture, mixing well. Gently stir in the berries.
   
   
3. Fill the muffin cups to the top and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes and then turn out onto a rack.

   VARIATION: Substitute 3/4 cup applesauce and use only 1/2 cup canola oil for a lower-fat muffin. Add the applesauce when you add the oil.
