Morning Glory Muffins

By: Rhonda Urich

"Not only did Rhonda Urich want 'Light & Tasty' to cut the fat from her Morning Glory Muffins, but she hoped the staff could make them more nutritious. Id like to see flaxseed or whole wheat flour added, making them a healthy snack, explains the Loveland, Colorado reader. We did just that. See how in the pages of the Dec/Jan 2006 issue of 'Light & Tasty.'"

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup raisins

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the carrots, pecans, coconut, raisins and apple.
