I got this out of a newspaper health supplement, it's a recipe by a nutrition adviser. I've tried them myself and they make a great alternative breakfast, especially warmed up with a little butter. If you like a bit of sweetness use sweetened coconut or you can soak your raisins in apple juice overnight.

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 medium carrots, grated
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup desiccated coconut (preferably unsweetened to keep it healthy)
1 medium apple, 1/2 grated & 1/2 chopped into small chunks
1/2 cup yoghurt
1 banana, mashed
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 teaspoons vanilla essence

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
2
In a mixing bowl combine wholemeal flour, oatmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, grated carrots, raisins, chopped walnuts, coconut and the grated apple.
3
In a second bowl mix the yoghurt, banana and baking soda, once combined add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla essence.
4
Blend well and then stir into the flour mixture until the two are combined.
5
Don't overbeat.
6
Bake in muffin tins for approx 20 minutes.

These muffins made a great breakfast. Admittedly, I did add 2 tbsp of brown sugar because I was afraid of making these without any at all but next time I will leave it out. To make them even healthier, I replaced half of the butter with canola oil. Otherwise, I did everything as directed.

I was concerned about the lack of sugar or honey or any kind of sweetener, but it was really very good. I used blueberry yogurt. Very nice.

these muffins were definitely healthy, but they were not sweet enough - granted the health outweighed the sweetness. Next time though, I would add something sweet, whether it be white chocolate chips or a bit of suger (obviously not AS healthy then!) but overall a fairly good muffin!
