Preparation

Step 1

Peel and grate the carrots enough to make 2 cups, set aside. Peel, core and grate the apple enough to make 1 cup, set aside. Cream the butter, sugar and eggs with the mixer. Add vanilla extract, shredded carrots and apples and continue mixing. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to the creamed mixture and continue mixing. Fold in coconut flakes, raisins and nuts with a spoon. Spray a regular 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill cups to just below the top. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Makes 12 large muffins. Enjoy!

Note: You could add pineapple to these or leave out the raisins or nuts. This is a very versatile recipe and easy to add or delete ingredients.
