African Trail Mix Muffins

These yummy muffins can be made without eggs, without dairy, or without nuts, depending on what you choose to put in! 

2 cups flour

1 cup brown sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda (also called bicarbonate of soda)

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup shredded carrot

1 cup shredded apple (it’s okay to use the skin, too!)

1 cup oil –OR- ¾ cup oil and one egg –OR- 1/3 cup melted butter and 2 eggs

½ cup shredded coconut (sometimes this is called “desiccated coconut”)

1 cup raisins or diced dried fruit and ½ cup nuts –OR- 1 ½ cups of your favorite nut/seed/fruit trail mix –OR- keep these out if you have a nut allergy, as the muffins will still be delicious without them!

Mix all of these delicious ingredients together very well.

            Spoon into a greased or lined muffin pan.
            Bake at  375 degrees (180° C) for approximately 25 minutes or until

Cool muffins before removing from pan. 

            Enjoy!
