These muffins are a much less sugary version of the classic carrot cake or muffin! They got fruit, nuts and carrots in, and a blend of flours making them actually quite good for you!

125g plain flour
125g wholemeal flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
50ml light olive oil
50g brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
200ml milk
2 carrots grated
1 apple grated
75g raisins or sultanas (or a mix!)
50g walnuts or pecans, chopped
Oats or chopped nuts for toppings (optional)
Method:
Pre heat over to 200 degrees (180 fan).
Line 12 muffin trays / tins with paper cases
Mix the flours in a bowl with baking powder and cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix the oil, sugar, egg, vanilla essence and milk.
Stir in the carrot, apple, raisins / sultanas and walnuts, then add to the flour mixture.
