Ingredients
1 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed natural brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Fuji apple, cored, peeled and diced
1/2 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dried flaked unsweetened coconut, divided
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix together
flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; break up any
brown sugar lumps with your fingers or a wooden spoon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil and vanilla, then add
to flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add apples, raisins,
carrots, walnuts and 1/4 cup of the coconut and stir gently until well
combined.
Spoon batter into 16 paper-lined muffin tins, filling each about 2/3
full. Top evenly with remaining 4 teaspoons coconut and bake for 25 to
30 minutes, or until cooked through.
