Mrs. MC's Magic Muffins

Mrs MC has discovered a recipe for these delicious muffins. They are so good they have reduced our oldest to a life of thievery. Actually she was just really happy to eat them. They are pretty healthy and full of good ingredients. So here is how they are made. 


1 1/2 cups of White flour (we use unbleached)
3/4 cup Whole wheat flour
3/4 cup oat Bran
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon of Baking powder
2 1/2 teaspoons of Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon  Nutmeg
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1/2 cup unsweetened Applesauce
1 cup Plain yogurt
3/4 cup Sugar
3/4 cup Honey
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
1 cup shredded Zucchini (drained after shredding)
1 cup shredded Carrots
1/2 cup Raisins

Thats quite a list of ingredients but it is worth it. 
So, oven at 400 defrees F. Muffin cups as you wish, we use a silicone muffin pan. This recipie makes quite a few dozen. 

In a bowl sift together all the dry ingredients. We like our nutmeg fresh so we grate it ourselves like this. 
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, oils, applesauce, yogurt, sugar, honey and vanilla. Combine the two bowls and mix, then gently fold in the remaining ingredients. Scoop into the muffin pans and bake for 18-20 minutes. They are done when a toothpick comes out clean. We usually dump these out over a towel and start scarfing. Enjoy.
