3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp real vanilla extract
1/2 tsp non-aluminum baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk or soymilk
1/4 cup canola or safflower oil

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour standard muffin tins or use muffin papers. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine carrots, applesauce and remaining wet ingredients. Add half the wet to the dry, stir until blended then add the rest. Spoon into muffin cups and bake about 20 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Makes 8-12 muffins.

(For mini muffins, bake 13 minutes. Makes about 24 mini muffins.)
