Healthy Carrot Muffin
From Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons wheat germ
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch fine salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

4 medium carrots, grated (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
Special equipment: 12 cup muffin tin and paper liners

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line twelve 1/2-cup
muffin cups with paper muffin liners.

Whisk the flours with the brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl lightly whisk the egg,
then whisk in the vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Quickly and lightly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a
rubber spatula. Stir in the carrots and pineapple just until evenly moist; the

batter will be very thick. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake
until golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, about 30
minutes. Turn muffins out of the tins and cool on a rack. Serve warm.
