1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in carrots, apple, and pineapple.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
5. Fold in raisins, nuts, and shredded coconut. Do not overmix.
6. Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups.
7. Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Use a mix of apple and pineapple for optimal moisture and flavor.
Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
They freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw and reheat for a fresh muffin.
