How to Make Low Fat Morning Glory Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together: 2 large eggs, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup skim milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a small bowl, combine: 1 cup grated carrots, ½ cup raisins, ¼ cup sunflower seeds, and the zest of 1 orange.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the carrot, raisin, sunflower seed, and orange zest mixture.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!
