Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup grated carrot
1 granny smith apple peeled and grated
¾ cup raisins optional
½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup chopped pecans
3 eggs
½ cup applesauce
½ cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare muffin tins with liners or by spraying each cup with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon and salt.
Stir the grated zucchini, carrot, apple, raisins if using, pecans, and coconut into the flour mixture, just until combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, applesauce, oil and vanilla, then pour into the larger mixing bowl with all the other ingredients and mix just until combined.
Fill each muffin cup with muffin batter almost all the way to the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes for regular-sized muffins or 16-18 minutes for mini-muffins.

Notes

If opting to include the raisins, plump them in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain before adding to the muffin batter.
