Bran Flax Muffins

Yesterday my daughter requested cinnamon bran muffins for an after school snack. The problem with the recipe I have called for shortening, white flour, and processed cereals so I couldn't really feel too good about that being a healthy snack. So with a little searching I found a recipe that I think is suitable. They are not home yet but I ate three and then had to put them away to stop myself. They really are good. When you get to the part about the eggs I read that in an organic cooking magazine and have decided to add that to all of my recipes that contain eggs. Hopefully I can trust mine.

Bran Flax Muffins

1 1/2 Cups unbleached white flour ( I used fresh ground wheat)

3/4 Cup Flax meal

3/4 Cup Oat Bran

1 C. Brown sugar

2 tsp. Baking soda

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 1/2 Cups shredded carrots

2 peeled and shredded apples

1 Cup cinnamon chips ( or just add a couple TBSP of cinnamon)

3/4 Cup milk

2 eggs (from a chicken you can trust) beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

I left out:

1/2 cup raisins

1 Cup nuts

Mix all ingredients well in mixer and then fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 min.
