Mountainous and Moist Morning Glory Muffins
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons powdered egg substitute (just blend in with the dry ingredients, do not mix
with water)
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup each of grated carrot, grated zucchini, walnut pieces, shredded coconut and
raisins
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 medium apple, chopped into tiny pieces
1 ripe banana, mashed
In a large bowl combine the first 7 ingredients and set aside.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl.
Slowly add the wet ingredient to the dry until well mixed.
Fill 12 muffin cups with batter and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Use a toothpick to test the center of muffins, when it comes out clean they are done.
Allow to cool and store in an air tight container.
These muffins also freeze well.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
SO GOOD! I used whole wheat pastry flour, used more applesauce for all of the oil except 1 Tbsp., skipped the coconut & cut the sugar in half. Delicious! Oh--also used 1 Tbsp. ground flaxseed instead of Ener-G egg replacer.
I cut the recipe in half & got 12 good-sized muffins. I'm glad I didn't make the whole batch, since I just have myself & my boyfriend to feed!

i have a bunch of carrot/apple/cucumber/parsely pulp from my juicing spree i went on this morning, and really dont want to waste it so i will definitely use it all for this recipe and report back
these are delicious! i used flax seed meal for the egg replacer. i didn't make any changes except for being lazy with the measuring. they were quite a bit of work for muffins, but worth it, and i got 24 muffins! 5 star recipe, i will be making these often.
These muffins are fantastic! I left out the carrots though because I didn't have any and last time I completely forgot to mix in the coconut and raisins and it still turned out fabulous. I did halve the sugar though, they seemed a bit too sweet. Thanks for a practically fool proof recipe YAY
These sound delicious. Can ground flax seed meal be used for the egg replacer powder?
I definitely think so! Flax is usually my egg replacement of choice, especially in something hearty & "earthy" tasting like this! Yum. I want to make these!
