“I am a preschool teacher and really appreciate the great snacks that my families bring in for class. These muffins were truly loved by my class so I asked for the recipe because I could tell they were full of yummy veggies and fruits. The original recipe was posted on Fredericksburg Macaroni Kid. I added some additional dried fruits, ground flax, and took out some sugar to make them a bit more healthy, but the flavor is still amazing!” -Wendy Cannon, a cooking instructor at the Dr. Yum Project Kitchen

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together honey, brown sugar, flour, flax, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add coconut, dried fruit, pineapple, apple, carrots and stir to combine. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Pour into bowl with dry ingredients and mix well.

Babyfood Option:

Muffins are a great finger food for babies because you can pack so many flavors and nutrients into one bite.. Cut into small pieces or consider making into mini-muffins to make them even more fun.
