Super Omega-3 Garden Patch Muffins



I don't like to waste anything and I love to modify recipes to make them more nutritionally dense. That is how the Super Omega-3 Garden Patch muffin came to be. It is a great way to use up the produce that needs to be eaten in your fridge. Be warned these could also be called "Colon Cleanser" muffins!

Dry Ingredients:
1 c unbleached flour
1/2 c whole wheat flour
3/4 c flaxseed meal
3/4 c wheat or oat bran flakes (crushed up)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
(mix together well)

1/2 c shredded coconut (sweetened or not)
1/2 c chopped dates
1 c nuts or seeds chopped (sunflower seeds are good!) 
(mix these into dry mix and set the bowl aside)

Wet/fresh Ingredients:
2 medium carrots peeled and then grated
1 med apple cored and grated
1 zucchini grated
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c milk
1/2 c golden raisins 
2 TBS stevia
1/4 c brown sugar
(mix these all together well until sugar is dissolved then add into the dry ingredients. Stir until dry is incorporated into the wet) 

*Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray (I use silicone so no liner needed) 
*Cook in preheated 350 deg oven for about 30 min until tester or toothpick come out dry

Enjoy!
