Hearty Country Muffins

Simply amazing!  Recipe from Donna's Premier Bed & Breakfast Cabin Lodging.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour (or wheat or oat flour)
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups coarsely chopped apples
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt.  In a separate bowl mix eggs and oil.  Add apples, carrots, cranberries and nuts; mix into dry ingredients (batter will be thick).  Fill muffin cups to 3/4 full and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until done.  Yields about 2 dozen.
