no guilt muffins - I had an urge for a snack...



Healthy Apple Carrot Muffins

2 cups raisin bran cereal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup finely chopped peeled tart apple
3/4 cup grated carrots
1/4 cup Grapenuts cereal
1/4 cup ground flax seed
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, beat the egg, buttermilk and oil.
Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apple, carrots, Grapenuts and flax seed.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups or cups coated with nonstick cooking spray three-fourths full. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.  Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.  Makes 12 muffins.
