Bran Flax Muffins

1 1/2 c. flour (I use half wheat, half white)
3/4 c. flax meal
3/4 c. oat bran (I had wheat bran on hand, and it worked fine)
1 c. brown sugar
2 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
2 t. cinnamon
1 1/2 carrots, shredded
2 apples, peeled and shredded
1/2 c. raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
1 c. nuts, chopped
3/4 c milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 t. vanilla

Mix together flour, flax, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in apples, carrots and nuts. In separate bowl, combine eggs, milk, and vanilla. Pour liquid into dry mixture, and stir to just mixed. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Makes 15 muffins.
*I also added some wheat germ to these, so I added just a little extra milk to the mix to make it not too dry. Could also sub 1/2 c. honey for 1/2 c. sugar and applesauce for apples, I'm sure. These are yummy and not too sweet. Good treats for the kiddies! Sorry it took me so long to post this!
