• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 15
• Yields: 18 muffins
• Serves: 18

ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1⁄4 cup ground flax seeds
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1 egg, beaten lightly
• 1 1⁄2 cups melted margarine or 1 1/2 cups soy margarine
• 1⁄2 cup grated yellow squash
• 1⁄2 cup chopped tart apple
• 1⁄4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1⁄4 cup golden raisin
• 1⁄4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
• 1⁄4 cup dried tart cherry
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon clove
• 3 teaspoons baking powder

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients. If mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour, if a little too dry, add a bit more milk. (A lot of it depends on your apples and squash, and the amount of moisture they are holding). It should form a thick batter.
4. Fill muffin cups 2/3rds of the way full and bake 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
