Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark); 1/3 cup applesauce (no sugar added); 1/3 cup sunflower oil (or oil of your choice-I like Ghee here too); 2 eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 3/4 cup all-purpose flour; 3/4 cup whole wheat flour; 2 tablespoons wheat germ (optional but adds a lot of folic acid and fiber); 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 cup lightly drained crushed pineapple; 1 cup grated carrot (not matchstick carrots)

Servings: persons

1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/3 cup applesauce (no sugar added)
1/3 cup sunflower oil (or oil of your choice-I like Ghee here too)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ (optional but adds a lot of folic acid and fiber)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup lightly drained crushed pineapple
1 cup grated carrot (not matchstick carrots)

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
In a large mixing bowl and by hand, stir together the brown sugar, applesauce and oil until well combined.
3
Add both eggs and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
4
Set aside and combine dry ingredients well in a seperate bowl.
5
Stir dry ingredients into previously set aside wet ingredients just until combined. Do not overmix.
6
Stir carrot and pineapple into batter.
7
Spray your muffin pan very well with nonstick spray. Get the sides good so your muffins release well -- yes, even if you use nonstick (I do too).
8
Using a 1/4 cup measuring tin for mini muffin pan or 1/2 cup tin for regular muffin pan, fill holes almost full and bake approx 15 minutes for mini muffins or 20 minutes for regular. Your oven may vary, but a toothpick inserted into middle muffin hole should be moist, with a few crumbs, but not sticky wet.

Feed your flock and enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
