Lunchbox Harvest Muffins image

These diminutive muffins make the rotation at least twice a week in my daughter's lunchbox. Although they are filled with plenty of good-for-you ingredients (whole-wheat flour, olive oil, apple and grated vegetables), they are moist and just sweet enough to ensure that they don't end up coming back home, which is the sad fate of many a salami sandwich.

Yield About 2 1/2 dozen mini-muffins (or 1 dozen regular muffins)

Number Of Ingredients 13

140 grams (1 1/8 cups) whole-wheat pastry flour
5 grams (1 teaspoon) baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey

1 small apple, grated, and juices reserved (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup grated carrots or butternut squash or parsnips
1/2 cup grated zucchini or beets
55 grams (1/3 cup) raisins
40 grams (1/2 cup) unsweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease mini-muffin tins.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, olive oil, honey, brown sugar, grated apple and juices and grated vegetables.
  • Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the raisins and coconut.

These muffins are so easy to make! I just threw all the ingredients in a bowl and mixed them together. The muffins were done in about 30 minutes and they turned out perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again.
