MORNING GLORY MUFFINS

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups grated carrots

1 1/2 cups peeled and grated apples

3/4 cup flaked coconut

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

3 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup vegetable oil or applesauce

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly oil 18 muffins cups, or coat with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

In a second bowl, combine carrots, apples, coconut, dates and pecans. Stir in eggs, oil and vanilla. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients; stir until smooth.

Spoon or scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pans. Bake at 375 F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
