Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with 12 large cups. In a big bowl, mix together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, dried cranberries, shredded coconut, flax seeds, cinnamon, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Then, add the grated apple and carrots, giving everything a good stir to combine. Next, toss in the pineapple, vegetable oil, applesauce, chopped pecans, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir just until everything is mixed—don’t overdo it. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, then pop them in the oven. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
