Glorious Morning Muffins

These muffins are sooooo good! I highly recommend doubling the recipe and having some in the freezer.

What you need:

2/3 cup egg whites
1 cup applesauce or apple butter
1/4 cup rice or almond milk
2 tsp Natural vanilla
2 cups unbleached flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1 1/2 cup of shredded carrots
1 cup peeled, shredded apple
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup slivered almonds

How to make them:
   Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease muffin pans with olive oil spray. Combine eggs, applesauce or apple butter, milk, vanilla, and brown sugar in large mixer bowl. Mix until well blended.  Add in dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Stir in carrots, apple, raisins and 1/2 cup of the almonds. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups and sprinkle with remaining almonds. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pan. Enjoy them warm, or freeze them for quick breakfasts for the kids!
