THR Mid-Day Muffins

Greetings to fans of Taylor's THR Mid-Day Muffins! This is a nice, healthy recipe that is sure to sustain you through a 45 minute presentation right before lunch. I hope you enjoy them, and just know that there are plenty more where these came from if Aars | Wells lands your business (wink!).  




Recipe

1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup sugar
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
1 stick (1/2 cup) organic butter, melted
½ cup sour cream
½ cup greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup agave nectar
1 egg
1 cup carrots, steamed and shredded or chopped in small pieces
½ cup applesauce
½ cup raisins
½ cup walnuts


Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a medium bowl melt butter and whisk together with sour cream and greek yogurt first.  Then add egg, vanilla, agave nectar and applesauce. Stir butter mixture into flour mixture until just combined.  Add carrots, raisins and walnuts.  Divide the batter among muffin cups, filling each about 1/2 full.  Bake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, 15-18 minutes for regular size muffins, 15 minutes for mini-muffins.
