1 egg
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp grated orange peel
1/2 cup grated apple, with the peel
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 cup unbleached granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
non-stick cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, lightly beat egg, then blend in the ingredients up through the carrots.
3. Fold the dry ingredients (through the walnuts or pecans) into the wet ingredients until just combined. The batter should be lumpy. Fill each cup of the muffin tin about 2/3rds of the way full.
4. Bake the muffins 20-25 min or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove each muffin from the tin immediately.
