Rise & Shine Muffins
Makes approximately 12 large or 24 standard size muffins

3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar or evaporated cane sugar
1 Tablespoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 cup coarsely grated carrots
1 cup coarsely grated zucchini
1 1/4 cup coarsely grated apples
3/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
9 large eggs
1 3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup honey
1 Tablespoon vanilla
zest of 1 orange
3/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees (350 degrees for convection). Spray one large 12cup muffin pan or two standard 12 cup muffin pans with cooking spray. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to combine. Crack eggs into another bowl. Whisk briefly to break up the yolks. Stir in the canola oil, honey and vanilla. Add the shredded carrots, zucchini and apples. Stir gently until the shredded ingredients are evenly distributed. Zest the orange over the bowl. Gently fold the carrot zucchini mixture into the flour mixture until mostly combined. Stir in the raisins and optional walnuts or pecans.

For large muffins, scoop 1/2 cup of batter into each muffin cup.
For standard muffins scoop 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup batter into each muffin cup.

Bake until tops of muffins feel firm to the touch approximately 25 minutes for large muffins and 20 minutes for standard muffins.
