You can choose to use carrots, zucchini, beets or any other vegetable of your choice instead of apple and dried fruits, chocolate chips instead of pecans in these flax muffins recipe.

1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup flaxseed meal 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup almond milk 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups grated apple 1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes and line a muffin tin with paper liner and grease it lightly with non-stick spray. In a large bowl stir together the dry ingredients. In a medium-size bowl mix together wet ingredients. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Do not overmix. Stir in grated apples and nuts, if using. Using a ladle spoon in the batter into the prepared pan. I usually use 1/3rd of a cup of batter for muffins. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Mine was done in 25 minutes.
