Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 cups Shredded Carrots
  • 1 cup Grated Apple
  • 3/4 cups Raisins
  • 1/2 cups Chopped Pecans
  • 1/4 cups Shredded Coconut
  • 8 ounces, weight Canned Crushed Pineapple, Drained
  • 1/3 cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1/3 cups Apple Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Egg Whites

Method

  • Combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Start mixing slowly and begin adding carrots, grated apple, raisins, pecans, coconut, and pineapple.
  • Add oil, apple butter, vanilla, and eggs. Stir just until everything is combined. This amount of batter should make 24 regular size muffins or 12 jumbo muffins.
  • Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Start checking at 25 minutes by pressing gently on the top. You want it to be fairly firm, not squishy.
