These muffins are loaded with healthy ingredients like seeds, apple, carrots, dried fruit and a whole bunch more.

2 cups multi grain flour
¾ cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded coconut
½ cup raisins,dried cranberries,dried blueberries, about 1 ½ to 2 cups total or any kind of dried fruit like figs or apricots
2 cups grated carrots
1 apple shredded
8 ounce can crushed pineapple drained really well to remove most of the liquid
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup hemp seeds
3 eggs
⅔ cup vegetable oil can also use olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Add dried fruit, coconut, seeds,raisins, crushed pineapple, apple and carrots. Stir to combine.
In separate bowl whisk eggs with oil and vanilla.
Combine this mixture with dry ingredients and blend well. This will be very thick.
Fill 12 cupcake baking cups heaping full or 16 regular size muffins.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Tops nicely browned and tops crusty looking.

I bake using a convection oven, may take a bit longer in non convection.

These muffins are very nutrient dense and filling. I always make 12 muffins but if you prefer divide into 16 equal portions.
