Energy muffins

The energy muffins recipe comes from this website . When I read list of ingredients I got very curious about those muffins' flavour. They are called energy, so I think would be good option for breakfast in hurry. They are moisture, rich and not too sweet. In my opinion  they are worth to try.
























Ingredients for 16 muffins:
  • 140g brown sugar
  • 150g flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 100g raisins
  • 200g grated carrot
  • 130g grated apple
  • 50g desiccated coconut
  • 60g chopped walnuts
  • 2 eggs
  • 125 ml canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 180C. Line muffin tin with paper cases.
Grate the carrot and apple. Chop the walnuts. Set aside.
In one bowl sift the sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking powder. Whisk everything together. Add the carrot, raisins, apple, coconut and walnuts. Combine all ingredients together.
In separate bowl pour the oil, vanilla extract and eggs, whisk them with fork. Pour wet ingredients mixture into dry mixture. Combine all ingredients. Do not over stir them. Spoon batter into paper cases. Bake for 25 min. Cool the muffins down on wire rack. Enjoy !!
