  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ground

  • 1/2 cup organic sugar
  • 1 cup soy or almond milk
  • 6 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups grated carrot
  • 1 small apple, grated

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line 12 muffin tins with liners, or oil them lightly.
  • Mix the flax meal and warm water together; set the mixture aside to let it "gel."
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the raisins, walnuts, and ginger.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the date paste, sugar if desired, non-dairy milk, and oil. Stir in the flax mixture.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ones until everything is well incorporated, and then fold in the carrot and apple.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffins comes out clean. Allow them to cool before enjoying.
