• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans or sliced almonds
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 18 regular size muffin cups.

2.Mix brown sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cranberries, coconut, flax seed, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add grated apple and carrots; stir to combine. Add pineapple, coconut oil, orange juice, applesauce, pecans, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir until just combined. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.

3.Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 - 30 minutes.

If using muffin liners use the foil ones...these stick to paper ones.
This makes 18 regular muffins and cooking instructions are for regular size not large size.
These spoil within a few days if not kept in the fridge or freezer. But they freeze well and then can be used a few at a time.
