Steps
Sequence Step
1Preheat oven to 350
2In a large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and oats.
3In another bowl, combine egg, milk, applesauce, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla.
4Pour egg mixture into dry ingredients and stir just until all ingredients are moistened. Do not over-mix.
5Stir in remaining ingredients: pineapple, carrots, apple, and raisins.
6Spread mixture between 10 lightly oiled or sprayed muffin tins if not using nonstick.
7Bake 15-20 minutes until lightly browned on top.
8Note: You can substitute prune puree or yogurt for the applesauce. Also, play around a little: 1 cup of any fruit can substitute for the pineapple, carrots, apples, and raisins. Let your imagination go!
