3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup grated apples
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbs. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 12-muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend the eggs, sugar and oil until well combined. Stir in the grated apples and carrots. In a separate bowl, sift the flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Blend the dry ingredients with the apple mixture until just combined. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins and bake for 25 minutes.
Makes 12 muffins.
***Tips from Elaine Magee***
3 eggs sounds like a lot for just 12 muffins, so I just used 2 and
added 2 egg whites. I cut the oil down to 1/4 cup of canola oil but you
could bring it down to 2 tablespoons and it would probably still work
out. You could add anything to make up the difference (flavored yogurt,
fat free sour cream, applesauce, etc..)
