Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, flour, cinnamon, cardamom, baking soda and salt. Add coconut, raisins, apples, pineapples, carrots, parsnips and pecans, stirring to combine.

In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil and vanilla together. Scrape mixture into bowl with dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Divide batter among muffin pans lined with muffin liners. (Each liner will be ⅔ full.) Place in oven and bake until a wooden toothpick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 35 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes, then remove muffins from pan.
