We love these muffins for a healthy jump start in the morning, hence the name Power Muffins 
) And they're easy to make, too!
What you'll need:
1 1/2 cups flour (we use whole wheat, but you can also use AP)
3/4 c ground flax seed
3/4 c oat bran
3/4 c honey
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 c milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tbsp oil
2 cups shredded carrots (use your food processor or do a fine chop by hand)
2 apples, peeled and shredded
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
How to do it:
1. Preheat your oven to 350. Oil your muffin pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour, flax, bran, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the milk, honey, eggs, and oil; stir until just blended.
3. Stir in the carrots, apples, raisins, and nuts.
4. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full with batter. I like to use a soup ladle to do this )
5. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mmmm!

Wow. That's a lot of stuff in those! Thanks for the recipe!
Those are some power muffins–super nutritional! I love that I can use honey from our bees in them, plus I have some carrots already grated. Last, they'll be easy to make gluten free. Thanks so much!

Yum ~ definitely trying this recipe soon!
We have a different name for these but absolutely LOVE them! They taste so delicious and are packed full of goodies to start the day.
I just made 2 batches of these and I absolutely love these!!!!! (I used King Arthur Organic whole wheat flour – blue package) =) next is the bread recipe.
Thank you for sharing!
p.s. I love your blog – it is very inspiring.
I must try.
Too funny! I have a “power” muffin recipe too. But not as powerful I believe as yours is – WOW! These look amazing. I can’t wait to give them a try! I am going to try soaking the grains first and see how that works out and will let you know, if you’d like?
Please do!!!! I haven’t tried it on these muffins, and I’d love to know!
These look amazing!!!!!! I am going to have to try them!
Mary Joy, be sure to pop back over and let me know if you do
I just made these and they are fantastic straight out of the oven! I’m just hoping that they will be as yummy in the morning for breakfast =). Thank you for the good recipe!
